Emeco was originally founded in 1944 following a collaborative project with Alcoa to develop a seaworthy chair for submarines and warships. During WWII the U.S government asked the founder, Wilton Carlyle Dinges, to make chairs that could withstand water, salt air and sailors. The chairs had to be lightweight, strong and built to last a lifetime. By the end of the 1950's, Emeco aluminium chairs outfitted all famous U.S Navy Ships and submarines including the first nuclear submarine, Nautilus. Emeco all-aluminium chairs are 100% recyclable and have an estimated life span of 150 years or more.
The Hudson Chair was originally designed for the luxurious Hudson hotel in NYC. Designer Philippe Starck originated the theme “Heritage Against Recycling” for the launch of this stunning design. Starck stated that recycling was passé and that what he was passionate about was products that would last forever to be handed down for generations. The Hudson Chair was the talk of the Milan fair with its sleek design and hand polished aluminium finish.
