Used Emeco Polished Aluminum Stool 24"H x 14"W x 14"D

Emeco chairs 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 the Navy Chair in Emeco’s Hanover, PA workshops where all of their chair collections are still made today. Built individually by a handful of craftsmen, 77 painstaking steps at a time.The prototype version of this stool was first used in 2001 for the Mies van der Rohe retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City for a re-created café that Mies van der Rohe and Lily Reich originally designed, a beautiful space with waving curtains. The museum selected these stools by Philippe Starck as pieces that might have been chosen by Mies van der Rohe today.
