One day in the early 2000's, 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, handcrafted from recycled aluminum, and a seat made from recycled plastic. The past seats the future.

Our goal is to keep waste plastic out of landfills and oceans by turning it into
timeless, well-built products that people keep for a long time - the opposite of disposable.
