Sustainable Simplicity—American Made
“Begin with what’s left over, turn it into what will last.” This is the principle on which American furniture maker
Emeco was founded. Emeco continues this philosophy by exploring and innovating ways to use consumer and
industrial waste, and environmentally responsible resources. The result: simple, timeless furniture that sits lightly
on the planet—indoors and out.
Iconic Inside and Out
Emeco works with the world’s best designers and influential brands—including Jasper Morrison, Philippe Starck,
BMW, Coca-Cola, Nendo, Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, and Barber & Osgerby—to make long-lasting products ideal
for social spaces both indoors and out.
Emeco’s History
In 1944, Emeco debuted its signature product. The 1006 Navy chair was designed to be lightweight, fireproof,
non-corrosive, and tough enough to withstand sailor life on U.S. submarines during World War II. Made to last at
least 150 years, the classic 1006 Navy Chair was, and still is, functional and durable. Craftsmen in Hanover,
Pennsylvania, make chairs mostly by hand using techniques that are passed down through generations.
Haworth began partnering with Emeco in summer of 2022 to offer a curated selection of iconic designs that are
sustainably superior, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
