Their design began in 1944 with a collaboration between Emeco and ALCOA to develop a seaworthy chair for military use. ALCOA’s scientists and Navy engineers consulted with Emeco to produce this chair in Emeco’s Hanover, PA workshops where they are still made today. Timeless. Chairs admired today – and indefinitely. Chairs that span generations and cultures. Built individually by a handful of craftsmen, 77 painstaking steps at a time. The enduring Emeco Classic as reinvented by Philippe Starck.
