Emeco 111 Navy Chairs

I was talking with my architect sister the other day. She was after some dining chair suggestions for a client that needs ten chairs for their extendable dining table - hence not too expensive! I reminded her about the cool 111 Navy chairs - they come in several colours, are made of recycled coke bottles, look great in modern or traditional homes as well as being useful in any room.

I visited Thonet today to work on some  furniture ideas for a job of mine. While I was there, Russell gave me an update on all the new styles coming soon, one of which is Emeco's collaboration with Coca Cola and their new release of 111 Navy Chair.
Due in store from June, the 111 Navy chair is made from 111 recycled Coca Cola bottles and available in 6 great colours, including Coca Cola Red (of course). It is plastic so great for the outdoors and won't be cold on our bottoms(!) like the aluminium ones have been known to be.
This is such a fantastic and sustainable idea - read more the process and the collaboration between Emeco and Coca Cola here . I look forward to seeing it next month in it's recycled plastic flesh.

Product - Emeco Navy chairs

I think these Emeco Navy 1006 chairs are great and look especially good with a timber table.

Such a great history behind these chairs and they are made from 80% recycled aluminium, which means they're incredibly light. Read about the history here

The top image is in the kitchen of one of my clients. We source them from Thonet in Wellington, as well as the Dairy Table the chairs are with. The middle one is an advertising agency in New York - check out the Emeco website for more images. And the last image is another dining scenario which I saw in Apartment Therapy.
