maison & objet 09: 'morgans' chair by andrée putman for emeco
in the exhibition NOW! design a vivre a new chair by andrée putman in collaboration wit emeco
made its world debut. 'morgans' is an all-aluminum side chair, tested to carry over 1000 pounds,
yet weighing only 7 pounds itself. like all emeco chairs, morgans is made using a proprietary
77-step process of 80% recycled aluminum and made at the historic emeco factory in
hanover pennsylvania.
andrée putman recently returned to morgans hotel in new york to lead a complete
renovation of the property. morgans is a boutique hotel she masterminded for
ian schrager back in 1984. for this project putman created a hybrid of the iconic
robert mallet-stevens chair, she used in the hotel's original design and emeco's navy chair.

'little black dress' - create a simple, smart, sexy chair that never goes out of style.
