Material

Aluminum is smart.


It's super strong, lightweight and fire proof.
It's also non-corrosive, non-magnetic and non-bacterial.
Plus, it can be recycled endlessly.

Philippe Starck


"Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled material
and transform it into something that never needs to be discarded."

Emeco + Starck
Handcraft

Made in Hanover, PA.


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