Icon has nothing extra, but touches like the curve of the back legs make up for what might otherwise seem lacking. As an extra bonus, the open-frame structure of this 100% aluminum chair makes it stack easily. "When I close my eyes, this is the chair I see." - Philippe Starck. What more do you need?

Few organizations have as storied a history as the Electric Machine and Equipment Company. Emeco's first major achievement was the Navy Chair- a chair designed in collaboration with ALCOA for seaworthiness. Since then, it has expanded its offering but held closely to Dinges' vision. Emeco and its manufacturing facilities are based in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
