“I’m more and more interested in working towards designs which take part in everyday life as naturally as possible.” -Jasper Morrison

For the 1 Inch Collection, Jasper Morrison tapped into Emeco’s heritage in hand crafting recycled aluminum, and leveraged its signature strength, light weight, and sustainability. Emeco and Jasper Morrison together have created a collection that reflects Emeco’s values and uncompromising standards – a seating family that is strong, simple, timeless, and engineered to last.

The bare bones of a good chair. A one inch size, square extruded aluminum tube was selected for the strength- to-weight ratio, using the least amount of material to yield the maximum amount of strength, while achieving the desired comfort and aesthetics.

The 1 Inch family of seats features a chair, armchair and stools in three heights. Seats and backs are available in various materials to suit a variety of applications: 100% reclaimed wood polypropylene, plywood versions in ash and walnut sourced from sustainable forests in North America, and upholstered selections in fabric and leather. All frames are handcrafted from recycled aluminum and available in two versions: hand brushed, clear anodized finish, or black powder coated finish. Frames in hand brushed, clear anodized aluminum with plastic seat/back are suitable for outdoor use. Includes soft plastic TPU glides.
