Designer: Ettore Sottsass for Emeco
The Nine-O, a new collection of chairs and stools by the Italian designer Ettore Sottsass debuted at the 2008 Salone Internazionale del Mobile.

Description:
The new designs re-imagine the classic, all aluminium Emeco 1006 Navy Chair, but adds comfort and color with new features including soft polyurethane upholstery, a wider seat and stacking ability.

These are the last chairs designed by Mr. Sottsass, who died in December 31, 2007 at the age of 90.

Available in brushed or polished aluminium.
Three different backs available, 3-bar, open, or soft.
Seat and back cover available in red, orange, green, blue, or grey.

Brushed: To give our chairs a brushed finish, we anodize them. Basically we put them through an electrolytic process. Which turns Aluminum to Aluminum oxide. Making it nearly as hard as diamonds. All very technical. But how does it feel? We like to think the brushed finish is a doing finish. A working chair. Utilitarian. Knock aboutable. You can feel the toughness. Industrial yet warm.

Polished: Emeco chairs aren’t just polished. They’re polished 3 times, by hand First the individual parts. Then the assemblies. Finally the completed chair. Taking 8 hours it total. It’s what gives them their luxurious look. They feel sensual, smooth, almost soft. One customer even told us it was like climbing into silk sheets. Our polishers were happy.
