The 1 Inch Reclaimed Chair is a piece made with sustainable reclaimed wood polypropylene, a material created in house by Emeco that drove world-renowned Jasper Morrison to design for the distinguished company. The reclaimed propylene is made from a blend of sawdust and injection molding waste, giving it an organic feel and warm look. The silhouette of the design presents a modern character marked by comfortable curves on its back and seat rest. The chair stands up to the seasons outdoors and stacks with ease.
