For the Emeco '1 Inch' Collection, Emeco and Jasper Morrison together have created a new collection of chairs, stools and tables that reflect Emeco's time-honoured values and uncompromising standards. 1 Inch is a product family that is strong, simple, timeless and engineered to last. The collection features stacking chairs in various recycled materials and an aluminium collection for heavy-duty environments.
The 1 Inch Aluminium Frame taps into Emeco's heritage in hand crafting recycled aluminium, leveraging its signature strength, lightweight attributes and sustainability to create a versatile family of seats. With 1 inch series, the frame of each chair is handcrafted using Emeco's 77-step process - a technique that has been used to produce the original 1006 Navy Chair since 1944.
Jasper Morrison developed the frame that uses only a one-inch profile throughout. This square extruded aluminium tube has the best strength-to-weight ratio possible to let the chair use the least amount of material whilst providing the maximum amount of strength. The recycled wood fibre and polypropylene seat has a speckled texture that gives the plastic a warmer, more natural touch. Thanks to the use of high-performance materials, the 1 Inch Side Chair is a robust, durable piece for indoor and outdoor settings. It is an excellent choice for home dining rooms as well as cafés, restaurants and other public venues.
The 1 Inch chair is also available as a side chair.

Jasper Morrison is one of Britain’s most successful and well renowned industrial designers. He is best known for a design approach that makes hard-working products appear aesthetically quiet.

Born in London in 1959, Jasper received his bachelor of design degree from Kingston School of Art in 1982, and his master's degree in design from the Royal College of Art in 1985. In 1984 he received a Berlin scholarship to study in Germany at the Hochschule...
