Emeco - Superlight Chair
Emeco - Superlight Chair
Super light and strong, the Superlight weighs only 6.5 pounds but has been tested to carry up to an amazing 750 pounds.
The brushed/ anodized shell and frame are connected by a hinge, allowing them to flex independently and move with the sitter. Superlight won the 2004 "Good Design" Award and was one of Architectural Record Magazine's top products of 2004. Superlight can be used indoors or out.
From Frank Gehry, Superlight's designer...
"I wanted three things in this chair: comfort, light weight, and strength. Superlight is a chair that moves to accommodate all body types - the sitter activates the chair. And we got it down to 6 ½ pounds, and that makes it easier for a lot more people to use and move around."

Emeco began in 1944 with a collaboration between Emeco and ALCOA to develop a seaworthy, torpedo proof chair for the navy. ALCOA's scientists and Navy engineers consulted with Emeco to produce the Navy Chair in Emeco's Hanover, PA workshops where all of their collections are still made today.
