emeco

Emeco is an American furniture company founded in 1944 to make chairs for the US Navy, using a hand-formed aluminium process that produced the 1006 Navy Chair – light, near-indestructible and still in production.

The range has since widened with designers such as Jasper Morrison, Philippe Starck, Nendo and Konstantin Grcic, and much of the catalogue is made from recycled aluminium and PET, with a stated focus on longevity and repairability.
