Collaborating With Emeco
Normally I'm skeptical when it comes to the re-design and re-imagination of vintage pieces, but when Emeco gave a handful of design greats free reign with their classic aluminum "Navy" chair the results were outstanding. From Ettore Sottsass' Nine-O series to Phillipe Starck's Kong line (which possibly recalls too closely his Louis Ghost Chair for Kartell), the entire Emeco line displays the fine midcentury craftsmanship and style for which the company is known. (As an aside, don't forget to watch the design process videos ... interesting stuff!)

About the Archives ...
These news archives span back to Ars Longa's inception in August of 2004. Due to this longevity, many of the older posts may feature external links that have gone dead. Over time websites move pages and some even close shop altogether. I apologize for these inconsistencies, but in the interest in maintaining a full archive even entries whose links have expired will remain in place on Ars Longa.
