1 Inch Chair, recycled-plastic seat — Emeco
Jasper Morrison
Good bones. The 1 Inch takes its name from the square recycled-aluminium tube — one inch across — from which its light, very strong frame is shaped. It is built using the 77-step craft process Emeco developed in 1944.
Designed in 2017 by Jasper Morrison, this version pairs the 80 % recycled aluminium frame with a seat in 100 % recycled polypropylene blended with wood fibres. The frame comes in hand-brushed aluminium or black powder-coated.
Eight colours, for indoor and outdoor use
The recycled-plastic seats are approved for outdoor use: terrace, café, restaurant or dining room. Stacks six high, delivered fully assembled. TPU glides for every use.

Good bones
The 1 Inch takes its name from the square recycled-aluminium tube — one inch on each side — from which its light, highly resistant frame is hand-formed. Seats come in 100% recycled plastic, plywood or fabric.
Recycled aluminium, a reliable backbone
The hand-formed frame gives a light yet extremely strong backbone to every 1 Inch chair and stool. The various seat materials — plywood, fabric, recycled plastic — allow for varied configurations, from high-traffic outdoor use to spaces seeking more comfort and warmth. Built to last, in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
For indoors and out
The 1 Inch with recycled-plastic seat is approved for outdoor use. The aluminium frame comes in the signature brushed finish or powder-coated black.
Jasper Morrison
For the 1 Inch collection, Jasper Morrison drew on Emeco's heritage — 80% recycled aluminium, hand-formed — and its characteristic strength, lightness and durability.
