the 20-06 collection
DESCRIPTION
Emeco’s collaboration with Norman Foster started when John Small and Gregg Buchbinder accidently met in an elevator in Chicago. Gregg followed up the elevator chat by sending Small the “Ping Pong” video about working with Frank Gehry. Small showed the film to the entire Foster and Partners office and the following week, Small contacted Emeco to suggest that Norman Foster might design a chair for Emeco. Foster’s sleek simple chair was launched at the 2006 100% Design, in London September, 2006, and was selected by the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum for its 2006 Triennial.TRANSCRIPT

FIRST LET’S MAKE THINGS THAT LAST.
The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was first commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy for use on warships – the contract even specified that it had to be able to withstand torpedo blasts. Today our chairs are still made in the U.S.A., of 80% recycled aluminum, and are made by hand, by Emeco craftsmen using the original 77 step process. The world’s best architects and designers collaborate with us to design chairs that are built and guaranteed to last a lifetime.
As we apply what we’ve practiced in the past, we are looking toward the future. We are on a mission to make a positive impact on the environment. Our goals are to use waste material in our products, use as little energy as possible in our manufacturing, generate a minimum of waste in the process, and build strong, durable, beautiful chairs that last through generations. We’ve been on the same mission since 1944 and we will continue to search for new ways to recover and utilize discarded materials and make products that last.
