emeco broom stacking chair
Design Philippe Starck, 2012
Waste polypropylene, reclaimed wood, glass fiber
Made in USA by Emeco
"Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled material and transform it into something that never needs to be discarded - a tireless and unbreakable chair to use and enjoy for a lifetime." -Philippe Starck
Philippe Starck and Emeco came together to create a new chair that is reclaimed, repurposed, recyclable - and designed to last. The chair is made from 75% waste polypropylene and 15% reclaimed wood fiber that would normally be swept into the trash, "Imagine", says Philippe Starck, "a guy who takes a humble broom and starts to clean the workshop and with this dust he makes new magic." That's why we call it Broom chair.
250 million tons of consumer waste & 7.6 billion tons of industrial waste are generated annually in America alone.
Made of 75% reclaimed polypropylene, 15% reclaimed wood fiber, 10% glass fiber & pigment and offered in your choice of various colors. All colors are suitable for outdoor use.
Please note: This product is made from 100% reclaimed materials - polypropylene mixed with wood fiber. The wood particles create a speckled texture that gives the surface a warmer, more natural touch. Lighter colors show the contrast of wood fibers more.
19" w | 19.5" d | 32.5" h | seat: 17" h | stacks 6 high | 10.5 lbs.

Philippe Starck
Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous… this is how I see my duty as a designer. Philippe Starck believes that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.
Emeco holds tightly to a foundation of craftsmanship and utilitarian design. The guiding principle is sustainability, design plus craftsmanship.
