Emeco
Nine-0 Swivel Chair with Arms
Ettore Sottsass worked with Emeco on his last ever chair - the Nine-0 - launched shortly after he passed away at the age of 90. The inspiration was Sottsass’ own Navy chair in his Milan apartment - but this time with a soft polyurethane seat and back and with or without the classic “Sottsass arm”. A timeless piece, built for lifetimes of use, to be kept, cherished and passed on for generations. Built by hand from 80% recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania.

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.
Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass was born in Innsbruck in 1917, graduated in architecture in Turin in 1939 and opened his Milan studio in 1947. From 1958 he worked as a consultant to Olivetti, where his Elea 9003 computer won a Compasso d’Oro, and in the 1980s he led the Memphis group and founded Sottsass Associati. He died in Milan in 2007.
For Poltronova, where he was art director, he designed the Califfo sofa of 1962, the Crazy Horse table of 1968 and the Ultrafragola mirror, the only piece of his 1970 Mobili Grigi series to reach production.
