A timeless piece, built for lifetimes of use, to be kept, cherished and passed on for generations. Made to order. Built by hand from 80% recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania by our most skilled craftsmen. Guaranteed for life. First designed for the Chinese restaurant Kong in Paris.

Alternative glides available at an upcharge.

Philippe Starck

"Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled
material and transform it into something that never needs
to be discarded - a tireless and unbreakable chair to use
and enjoy for a lifetime."

Made in Hanover, PA.

No one else makes chairs this way. It takes a human eye
to know when the process is done right, and it takes
human hands to get it that way.
