Recycled aluminum

- a very smart material

Emeco aluminum furniture is not just outdoor approved - it’s approved for marine applications, meaning it meets significantly higher standards for corrosion resistance to handle harsh salt-air environments. That’s what the US Navy demanded when we first started making mil-spec chairs for ships and submarines in 1944, and that’s how we still make them.

Our signature hand brushed finish is anodized. Unlike paint or plating, which sit on top of the metal, the anodization is integrated with the material itself. The electrolytic process thickens the natural, protective oxide layer of the recycled aluminum, converting the surface into a super hard wearing, scratch resistant, all-weather aluminum oxide, next to the hardness of a diamond.

Emeco's signature finish is hand brushed, clear anodized, a super hard wearing, scratch resistant, outdoor approved finish that is next to the hardness of a diamond.

Our hand polished finish takes us an additional 8 hours per chair. But when we're done, that chair gleams like a piece of jewelry. Time well spent, in our view.

We also offer powder coat colors, select from our in-house range or choose your own.
