Philippe Starck Conceives a New Icon For EmecoEmeco, the Aluminum Chair Company, will launch a new design by the internationally renowned architect, Philippe Starck, at Milan's 2006 Salone Internazionale del Mobile this April.
Named Icon, the new design is a distillation of Mr. Starck's ideas, and ideals.
Hand made of 100% aluminum, the new stacking chairs and stools have an estimated lifespan of 150 years and a lifetime guarantee.
"My idea for the new Emeco chair was to design nothing, just transmit the phenomenon of Emeco.
The new design is balanced, minimal and coherent; there is serenity.
When I close my eyes and think of a chair, I think of this chair -- it is an Icon," said Mr. Starck.
Gregg Buchbinder, Emeco's Chairman recalls, "Working with Starck is like making love. I don't know why it feels so good or works so well, I just follow my heart.
It's marriage of craft and intuition. Starck and Emeco have a wonderful love affair."
