Most of the aluminum produced in the late 1800’s is very much alive today. In cans, computer parts - and Emeco furniture. Recycling aluminum saves 95% of the energy required to make the same amount from its virgin source.

It also makes for an exceptionally small carbon footprint.

It's also fireproof, non-magnetic and non-bacterial. Making it well suited to both high traffic areas and sensitive settings such as healthcare environments. Our durable anodized finish is bleach cleanable and can be power washed.

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 all-aluminum chairs and stools come with a lifetime warranty. They have an estimated life span of 150 years or more. Their longevity, in both design and manufacture, means they can be passed down for generations.
