First, let's make things that last. The American furniture company Emeco was founded in 1944 to make lightweight, non-corrosive, fire resistant, torpedo proof chairs for the US Navy. The classic 1006 Navy Chair was born. Made of recycled aluminum to last at least 150 years, it was light, smart, functional and strong - because that was the best we could do. Today our craftsmen in Hanover, Pennsylvania continue to handcraft chairs that are so strong, they are passed down through generations – that's how we define ‘sustainability'. As we apply what we've practiced in the past, we are looking toward the future. Emeco is leading the industry, exploring and innovating ways to use consumer and industrial waste, and environmentally responsible resources to create and build simple, timeless furniture. We are very selective about the products we produce because we intend to make them for decades to come. To inspire that commitment, we work with the world's best designers and influential corporations including Philippe Starck, Norman Foster, BMW, Frank Gehry, Coca-Cola, Jean Nouvel, Konstantin Grcic, Nendo, and Jasper Morrison to make chairs that live up to the standards that we inherited from our founders with a vision to make a difference.
