NINE-0 By Ettore Sottsass

15th April '08

Salone del Mobile, Milan
Hall 8, Stand D30

Emeco, the Aluminum Chair Company, will debut “Nine-0”, a new collection of chairs and stools by the Italian designer, Ettore Sottsass at the 2008 Salone Internazionale del Mobile this April.

The new designs re-imagine the classic, all aluminum Emeco 1006 Navy® chair, built for submarines in WWII, and manufactured by Emeco since 1944.

These are the last chairs designed by Mr. Sottsass, who died on December 31, 2007 at the age of 90.

The new collection includes stacking chairs and armchairs, counter and barstools that stack as well, and swivel chairs for meeting or dining.

Mixing Emeco’s expertise in aluminium construction with Ettore's desire to make the new chair soft, friendly and colourful, the new design's celebrate an authentic chair and an original life.
