The Emeco Soso Chair is so, so awesome. So minimal, so crisp, so fresh and so clean. Much more than just so-so, this lightweight aluminum chair was designed by Jean Nouvel using the same manufacturing technique perfected with the iconic 1006 Navy Chair. The enveloping back and armrests add a new level of comfort to the original aluminum chairs. Like all Emeco productions, the SoSo Chair is incredibly environmentally friendly, using 80 percent recycled aluminum in its construction and 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life.
Emeco's founder, Winton C. Dinges, was a master tool and die maker with an engineering background. He believed that a hands-on approach to production using outstanding materials would lead to outstanding design and outstanding furniture. It is a vision that has served Emeco well since 1944.
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.
