The original Emeco 1006 chair has a curved back with three vertical struts and a slight curve on the back legs.
It weighs about seven pounds and is guaranteed to last 150 years.
Most of the original chairs from the 1940s are still in use.
The traditional aluminum chairs are made mostly out of recycled aluminum, but also silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, chromium, titanium and zinc.
Emeco 111 chairs are  made out of 60 percent recycled plastic and 30 percent glass fiber.
The Emeco 111 chair was named based on it being made of at least 111 recycled Coca-Cola bottles.

As of 2014, there are approximately 88 Emeco chair models.
The first designer version of the 1006 chair in the "Emeco by Starck" line was the Hudson chair, named after the Hudson Hotel that put a Hudson chair in every room.
It has a similar silhouette as the original 1006, but has a reflective or brushed aluminum surface, a solid backrest and is stackable.
It also came in swivel and upholstered versions.
The reflective glossy versions of the 1006 chair are polished for eight hours, substantially increasing their cost.
There are also Emeco-brand barstools, swivel chairs, rocking chairs and armchairs.

Emeco's chairs are manufactured by hand in Hanover, Pennsylvania through a two-week, 77-step process.
Eames Demetrios, the grandson of designer Charles Eames, published a documentary film on the manufacturing process called "77 Steps."
Many believe the chair is cast from a single form, but it is actually welded together from 12 pieces.
Sheets of aluminum are rolled into tubes, cut to length, and bent into shapes on large hydraulic machines.
Various notches and punchouts are made so pieces can fit together before welding.
Workers grind down the welding joints to give it a smooth finish, creating the appearance of being cast from a single piece.
The chair goes through a repeated heating and cooling cycle that increases the strength of the aluminum.
The chairs are also anodized.
Originally swivel chair bases and other parts were purchased from a supplier, but in the 1950s, Emeco began purchasing manufacturing equipment to manufacture them in-house.
