The Alfi Work Swivel Chair with Glides from Emeco invites one to take it easy at the desk like a relaxing morning at the café as a refined take on the woven cane brasserie chair. Shape and character find balance with tension and expression in a design approach Jasper Morrison calls ‘super normal.’ This balance shows in the chair’s pairing of curves and sharp lines. Here, a recycled aluminum base tapers to create a pointing silhouette. A swiveling feature gives the shell smooth movement. The shell’s alluring texture is made using recycled plastic and wood fibers. This shell wraps one’s back for support and curves under the lower body.

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.
