FIRSTLETS MAKE
THINGSTHAT LAST.The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was rst commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy
or use on warships the contract even specied that it had to be able to withstandtorpedo blasts. Today our chairs are still made in the U.S.A., o 80% recycled aluminum,
and are made by hand, by Emeco cratsmen using the original 77 step process. The
worlds best architects and designers collaborate with us to design chairs that are
built and guaranteed to last a lietime.
As we apply what weve practiced in the past, we are looking toward the uture. We
are on a mission to make a positive impact on the environment. Our goals are to use
waste material in our products, use as little energy as possible in our manuacturing,
generate a minimum o waste in the process, and build strong, durable, beautiul
chairs that last through generations. Weve been on the same mission since 1944 and
we will continue to search or new ways to recover and utilize discarded materials
and make products that last.

UPCYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES.
We get the most out o the material we use. For years, that material
was aluminum. We developed a way to work with it to make products
o extraordinary strength, durability and beauty. It took us a long timeto nd a new material that could inspire us the way that aluminum
does, and even more time to develop the new material we now use or
the 111 Navy Chair. Its strong, durable, and it has a deep beauty that
people love when they touch it. And its made rom recycled plastic
bottles. In act, we called it the 111 Navy Chair because every chair we
make keeps 111 plastic bottles out o the landlls.

250 million tons o consumer waste and 7.6 billion tons o industrial waste are
generated annually in America alone. Emeco, in collaboration with Philippe Starck,
created a new material made rom 75% industrial waste polypropylene and 15%
reclaimed wood ber.
The result is the Broom chair, made using 90% pre-consumer industrial waste that
will never see the landll.

SOSO by JEAN NOUVELFrench designer Jean Nouvel drew upon his philosophy o nothingness to create
the simple, lightweight, Emeco Soso Collection o chairs and barstools. I just kept
the same Emeco DNA and evolved it into a new light and comortable chair. Working
with Emeco is like being in a eld o wheat. The crop is grown and my job was to
simply harvest, said Nouvel. The collection is handmade o 80% recycled aluminum,
by Emeco cratsmen using the same process Emeco has employed to abricate the
amous 1006 Navy Chair since 1944.
SOSO.

NOT EASY.
SEZZ by CHRISTOPHE PILLETChristophe Pillet and Emeco collaborated to create chairs or the Sezz Hotel in St.
Tropez, where Pillet envisioned interiors with a sense o deep value a home away
rom home. The look is very subtle, but holds an unbelievable quality; you dont
see the welding, the recycled aluminum, the indestructibleness, they are all real but
invisible values, the hidden territory o a luxury product, said Pillet.
ITS SIMPLE.

FIRST PRINCIPLES.LASTING VALUES.
At Emeco, we are committed to the principles on which our company
and culture were built quality, excellence, trust, honesty and lastingvalue. Our rst product, the Navy Chair, was made to last a hundred
and ty years. It was light, smart, unctional and strong because
that was the best we could do. Much o what is manuactured today
is destined or the trash heap. Not so with Emeco our products are
handcrated to last, and the principles that built our rst chair still
guide us today.

KONG by PHILIPPE STARCKPhilippe Starck designed the Kong chair and barstool
with Emecos strength and durability standards in
mind, or high-use environments like the Long Bar at
Londons Sanderson Hotel. Kong requires the hand
welding o 24 separate pieces o aluminum, and an
additional 8 hours o hand polishing.

TOUGH,LIGHTWEIGHT,
NEARLYINDESTRUCTIBLE.
20-06 by NORMAN FOSTERFoster said, I appreciate the anonymous character o the new chair tough, light-
weight it meshes seamlessly with our vision or interior space.
We are designers, we are cratsmen, we are citizens o the world. At Emeco we have
a higher purpose and we love a challenge. In act, the more dicult the problem, the
more inspired we are. One o the great challenges o our time is to do more with less,
to get more delight and utility out o the material and energy we are using. That idea
is at the core o the Emeco DNA. From the start, we made beautiul things that were
built to last, as light as possible. Material eciency. Enduring intelligence. Industrial
strength. Beauty. Today, these ideas inorm everything we do.

I its not special, why should we do it? At Emeco, we are very selective about the
products we produce because we intend to make them or decades to come. We avoid
hot design ads or the latest trends. Like true love, our product is orever. We need
the best to inspire that commitment. Only a great idea will capture our imagination.
Only true love is worthy o our ull attention. Only the best intention will survive the
process o becoming an Emeco product. That is one o the reasons we work with the
best. They know what it means to have a great idea, and what it takes to make an
idea last orever.
A GREATIDEALASTSFOREVER.
