Key Features
When a long-lost chair from 1951 turned up from an auction, Emeco set out to give it the welcome back it deserved by employing the forward-thinking car designer at BMW Designworks, Adrian van Hooydonk. The stackable Emeco 1951 Stool flips what was originally a Navy hospital chair into a modern design statement with the simple, utilitarian, and masculine qualities the iconic brand is known for. As a car designer, Adrian van Hooydonk comes at his work pushing for technical innovation while retaining the heart & soul of the brand. While not a zooming car, Adrian set out to bring dynamism to the original hospital chair, tightening its proportions and flaring out its angles. The recycled aluminum structure follows the Emeco tradition, using a 77-step handcrafted process. Recycled plastic seats serve as another modern touch, bringing strength, color, and comfort.
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.
