Day 1 at the Salone: 111 Navy Chair from Coca-Cola and Emeco.

111 navy chair from coca-cola and emeco.

As I was saying in one of the earlier entries, sustainable design is everywhere. This 111 Navy Chair is another perfect example. Modeled after the original Emeco Navy Chair, the all-aluminum chair made by Emeco for the Navy, the 111 Navy Chair comprises of around 60 percent rPET plastic and a special combination of other materials including pigment and glass fiber for strength. It is estimated approximately 3 million 20-ounce plastic bottles will be recycled annually for the production of these chairs. The chairs will be available in six colors: Coca-Cola Red, Snow, Flint, Grass, Persimmon and Charcoal.

In the US, you can find them at Design Within Reach.
