Designer Michael Young contacted Gregg from his studio in Hong Kong to initiate the back-and-forth design that resulted in Emeco’s first component-based chair. Emeco found a local Amish woodworker in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to make the ash wood legs which are combined with die-cast aluminum seats and backs at the Emeco factory in Hanover, PA.

"The sculptural form of this chair leg could only be made in wood. When I found that Emeco has partnered with a remarkable amish wood factory in Lancaster, the project gelled. It is an immense privilege to work with Emeco, I am sincerely proud in a way I have not felt previously." - Michael Young
