Loretta was born from an observation about the most used warehouse trolleys, which don’t fulfill the needs of a workshop. It consists of 2 boxes and a base in spruce solid wood, built with a structure similar to that of the wooden crates, whose construction is really simple and frequently carried out by Latch and Praat customers. The frames differ from this one, because it’s placed outside instead of inside, starting 30 cm from the beginning of the first batten and ending 30 cm below the last one. This detail makes the boxes squared and stackable. The first box is designed to hold smaller objects: the alternating holes allow tools such as screwdrivers, chisels and files to be stored, the closed compartment for screws and nails, the larger compartment for larger tools and finished pieces. The second box is designed for long pieces, which can be transported by stacking them horizontally without too much effort. The three V-shaped pieces also form additional compartments. Loretta has a comfortable and friendly appearance, which will bring cheerfulness into the workplace, but it is also so versatile that it can be used in health resorts and kindergartens.
