Material
Now and forever.
Aluminum is super strong, lightweight and fire proof.
It's also non-corrosive, non-magnetic and non-bacterial.
Plus, it can be recycled endlessly.
Design
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."
Handcraft
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.
