company emeco to create  'lancaster'. the collection of stacking chairs, barstools and tables
is the company's first foray into component-based design incorporating cast aluminum seats
and backs with carved ash-wood legs. the ash-wood components are made by emeco’s
partner, an amish factory in nearby lancaster county, giving the collection its name,
lancaster. the company will present the new collection at milan design week 2010.
