Stackable. Sturdy. Sustainable.
One day, we came across a long lost Emeco chair at a flea market. It was dated 1951. We decided it was time for a revival. The updated version sports a classic Emeco frame in handcrafted, recycled aluminum, and a seat made from 100% recycled plastic. The past seats the future.
Recycled aluminum + PET
- a smart combination
"As in good car design, the added functional elements create a clean, simple and dynamic look that appeal on an emotional level while projecting strength."
