I have two secret loves, CHAIRS and LAMPS!!!!! At the moment I'm intrigued with Emeco (The Electric Machine & Equipment Co). If you haven't heard of this American company, you will probably recognise their 1006 Navy chair for sure, they claim it's their identity! What I love about these chairs, is that they are made from 80% recycled aluminum, they're handmade, hand polished and designed to last for 150 years. (obviously the designers have children!). They have just launched a new chair called the 'Lancaster' by British designer Michael Young. This chair is beautiful, the combination of the polished aluminum and the ash-wood, modern with a touch of warmth coming from the wood. (available at Living Edge later in year) But the design I've been hooked on for a while is the Emeco stool designed by Phillipe Starck in 2001, these stools aren't fancy, but to me I love the clean molded look of them, perfect to go around an old rustic wooden table!

P.S. If you want to know more about Emeco click on this link, on the official site is a great video to watch about the company, after watching I loved them even more!!!!!!!!
