morgans side chair
Design Andrée Putman, 2009
Recycled aluminum
Made in USA by Emeco
Andrée Putman contacted Emeco in 2008 to ask to design a small, lightweight chair for her to use in the re-design of Morgan’s Hotel in New York. Gregg Buchbinder, remembers the first project meeting, "Andrée arrived in the 6 inch stilettos - she is the most stylish woman I have ever known. She told me she wanted to do with the Emeco chair what her friend Coco Channel did with the little black dress – create a simple, smart, sexy chair that never goes out of style."
When Andrée Putman updated her masterwork, the Morgans Hotel in NYC after 25 years, she asked Emeco to help her create a signature chair for the project. The Morgans chair fuses Robert Mallet Stevens’ art deco design with the 1006 Navy® DNA.

Founded in 1944 by Wilton C. Dinges, the Electrical Machine and Equipment Company (Emeco) holds on tightly to their foundation of craftsmanship, utilitarian design, and history. Their origins lie in a collaboration with the aluminum giant Alcoa to develop an indestructible and useful chair for military use in Navy submarines and warships. Today Emeco is led by CEO Gregg Buchbinder who sums up their vision as “design plus craftsmanship.” Looking toward the future, Buchbinder has brought in Philippe Starck and Frank Gehry. With Starck, they developed the Hudson Chair. With Gehry, they created the acclaimed Superlight chair. In 2008, Emeco launched the Nine-O Collection by Ettore Sottsass and in the folowing year the Morgans chair by Andrée Putman, designed for the restored Morgans Hotel.
