Emeco
Founded on the principle ”Begin with what’s left over, turn it into what will last”, American furniture maker Emeco has been building chairs from recycled materials for over 75 years. In the throes of World War II, the U.S. Navy needed a place to sit and Emeco took up the challenge and in 1944 the 1006 Navy Chair® was born. Built by hand at their factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania using a unique 77-step process and scrap aluminium – a wartime necessity Emeco has been building chairs from recycled aluminium so strong, that they guarantee them for life.
Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners was founded in London in 1967 by Norman Foster, born in Manchester in 1935, who received the Royal Gold Medal in 1983, a knighthood in 1990 and the Pritzker Prize in 1999. Known for landmarks such as the Reichstag in Berlin, the practice has an industrial design studio that creates products from tables to turbines, driven by sustainability and by prototyping and making.
For B&B Italia the studio designed the Cordoba armchair in 2022, an oak frame with a seat and back in thick leather that combines design, precision and environmental responsibility.
