Emeco Lancaster Dining Table

Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

British designer Michael Young has spent 15 years strengthening the connection between modern design and the technical abilities of manufacturers in Asia. "I see the work not as design but as industrial art where the highest levels of manufacturing have been employed," says the designer. Working from his studio in Hong Kong, Young is known for his expertise in aluminum manufacturing. When he started experimenting with ways to join other materials to aluminum, he contacted U.S.-based Emeco, and a partnership was formed with the Lancaster Collection (2010). Designed to coordinate with the Lancaster Chair, the Lancaster Dining Table features legs and tabletop in solid ash, harvested from fallen timber near Lancaster, PA (thus the name of the table), and die-cast aluminum accents in a matte black, matte silver or polished silver finish. "I am passionate about natural materials that live forever," says Young. "The wood creates a softer edge, whilst the aluminum keeps it sophisticated." Made in U.S.A.

111 Navy Chair®

Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Made from 111 recycled plastic Coke bottles, the 111 Navy Chair® (1944/2009) is the result of a special collaboration between Emeco and Coca-Cola. It took four years of research, design and materials testing to create this chair, which is a plastic version of the iconic 1006 Navy® Chair. Designed to have the attributes of the original aluminum version strength, durability and comfort the 111 Navy Chair expands the collection by offering color and a bit of pop (no pun intended). The Navy Chair design constitutes the proprietary Trade Dress of Emeco. Made in U.S.A..

The production of this chair is expected to keep three million plastic Coke bottles out of landfills each year.
Suitable for outdoor and commercial use.
One of the few plastic chairs to be built with leg stretchers, the 111 Navy will stand up to frequent use.

1006 Navy® Armchair w/ Wood Seat

Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Back by popular demand, Emeco has reissued its Navy Chair with a carved wood seat.

In the late 1990s, the Navy Chair's iconic design began catching the attention of architects and designers, initiating a new era for Emeco. Made in U.S.A.

Made with 80% recycled aluminum.

In the late 1990s, the Navy Chair's iconic design began catching the attention of architects and designers, initiating a new era for Emeco. Beginning with soft, recycled aluminum, 1006 Navy seating goes through a series of hand-crafted processes, including heat treatment and anodizing, to render the chair diamond-hard and virtually indestructible. Though imitations of the 1006 exist far and wide, Emeco's Navy Chair is the only one to go through this rigorous production process. Three small welds on the back of the slats are left exposed to indicate that this often-copied seating is the real thing. Specially made stainless steel foot caps are covered with a clear plastic glide to prevent scratching floors or snagging carpets. Optional seat pad available separately. Made in U.S.A.

Emeco Emeco Stool Seat Pad - Vinyl

Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

After updating the iconic 1006 seat by Emeco for the Hudson Hotel in New York City, Philippe Starck took on the Emeco Counter and Barstools, stripping the classics of their back and arms and giving them an irresistably slender profile. Simple, elegant and commodious for bodies of all sizes, the stools contain up to 80% recycled aluminum and are handcrafted to be stronger than steel using the same proprietary 77-step process as the classic 1006 Navy Collection. First designed as prototypes for the Mies van der Rohe retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 2001, the Bar and Counter Stools are solutions that the museum thought Mies van der Rohe himself might choose today. Made available to the public in 2002 and equipped with optional vinyl seat pads, they have a cool neutrality right for any environment, artfully blending contemporary crispness with the contours of '50s modernism. The optional Seat Pad, in black, is made of vinyl and is easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

Emeco 20-06 Round Bar-Height Table

Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

The 20-06 Round Bar Height Table (2006), one of several Emeco seating and table options, was designed to provide a tabletop surface for the 20-06 Barstool, but it's anonymous enough in design to work with most any barstool. The hand-welded seamless construction is the result of a 77-step process developed in 1944 when Emeco first manufactured its 1006 Navy Chair for use on WWII submarines. The Bar Height Table is part of a collection that began with the 20-06 Chair designed by architects Foster & Partners for the Smithsonian expansion in Washington, D.C. The inventive geometry and ecological considerations they bring to architecture are evident in the entire 20-06 table and seating series. With its indestructible anodized finish, it is suitable for outdoor use or anywhere moisture can collect. Like it's 20-06 counterparts, the Round Bar Height Table has an estimated 150-year lifespan longevity that means less impact on the earth's resources. Contributes to LEED Certification Credit #4.2 Recycled Content. Made in U.S.A.
