While you can thoroughly enjoy the Run Round Café Table from Emeco by yourself, it’s a piece inspired by the memorable, shared experiences often had with public furniture. Design duo Sam Hecht & Kim Colin approach this piece and the rest of their work with the idea that great functionality lends to true beauty. You can see this approach at work in the clear silhouette of the legs and top. The aluminum legs anchor the visuals with a sleek surface that lifts the textured surface of the top. The top pays homage to park benches with an elegant and functional split design. Made in sustainably sourced wood, the top brings an inviting sense of familiarity in its organic hues and grain.

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.
