The 1951 collection by Emeco

Emeco 1951 chairs and stools pair handcrafted recycled aluminum frames with recycled plastic seats and backs.

BMW Designworks reinterpreted an earlier Emeco chair, retaining its utilitarian construction while introducing an angled stance. The chairs and elevated stools stack six high and can be used indoors or outdoors. Counter and bar versions extend the same seat profile to different table heights. Replacement glide sets provide model-specific fittings for the seating.

The pieces. Two in the collection.
