Mara | Loto Recycled

The company proposes one of its best sellers in an eco-friendly version, also enhanced by the new color palette

Mara’s focus on sustainability is perfectly embodied in Loto Recycled, a collection of seating with a minimal, versatile character. Now the series is also “green.” Returning to the design of the Loto chair, a Mara icon from 2019 originally produced in wood, the company now offers a version in 100% recycled and recyclable polypropylene (made with regenerated certified post-consumer plastics), with the traditional base in steel tubing. The design is the same, but now the environmental impact is almost nil: no plastic is added to the ecosystem, and the chair itself can be recycled at the end of its life span, putting the material back into the production cycle. Loto Recycled is ideal for hospitality structures and collective spaces, though it is also perfect in residential contexts, especially thanks to the new range of colors, in a palette of pastel tones: pink, sage green and greige.
