Key Features
A handsome modern update to a design thought to have been lost decades ago. Made originally for Navy hospitals, the Emeco 1951 Stacking Chair is a timeless piece given new life by car designer extraordinaire Adrian van Hooydonk of BMW Designworks. When the original design landed on the doorstep of Emeco after being won in an online auction, leadership tapped Adrian van Hooydonk to create a new design that retained the brand’s simple, masculine, and utilitarian DNA while looking forward. No stranger to this design problem at BMW, Adrian van Hooydonk began by tweaking the original lines of the 1951 chair to achieve a more dynamic, powerful stance. Emeco craftsmen make each durable recycled aluminum chair in the same 77-step process they’re renowned for. The back and seat rest use innovative, eco-friendly recycled plastic. These elements please against the body and please the eyes as they add a pop of color against the sleek metal.
First lets make things that last. Thats been the Emeco motto ever since their first aluminum Navy Chair came off the assembly line in 1944. Based in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Emeco is focused on making recycling passe by making furniture that will last forever and never go out of style. Collaborations with designers like Philippe Starck, Frank Gehry, Ettore Sottsass and Norman Foster have contributed greatly to that vision.
