FIRST LET’S MAKE THINGS THAT LAST. The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was first commissioned in the 1940s by

the U.S. Navy for use on warships – the contract even specified that it

had to be able to withstand torpedo blasts. Today our chairs are still

made in the U.S.A., of 80% recycled aluminum, and are made by hand,

by Emeco craftsmen using the original 77 step process. The world’s

best architects and designers collaborate with us to design chairs that

are built and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

As we apply what we’ve practiced in the past, we are looking toward

the future. 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 manufacturing, generate a minimum

of waste in the process, and build strong, durable, beautiful chairs that

last through generations. We’ve been on the same mission since 1944

and we will continue to search for new ways to recover and utilize

discarded materials and make products that last.

NOTHINGNESS.

SOSO by NOUVELFrench designer Jean Nouvel drew upon his “philosophy of nothingness” to create the simple, lightweight, Emeco “SoSo Collection” of

chairs and barstools. “I just kept the same Emeco DNA and evolved it into a new light and comfortable chair. Working with Emeco is like

being in a field of wheat. The crop is grown and my job was to simply harvest,” said Nouvel. The collection is handmade of 80% recycled

aluminum, by Emeco craftsmen using the same process Emeco has employed to fabricate the famous 1006 Navy Chair since 1944.SOSO Stacking Armchair. Opposite page, left to right: SOSO Barstool, SOSO Stacking Armchair.
