Nendo: Su / 29

Created by Nendo using recycled and salvaged materials, the Su collection is characterised by its style, design and strength. The very same characteristics that made Emeco famous.

The Japanese concept of Su is derived from traditional Japanese culture and means simple, without frills, minimalist.

Nendo has made its own Su design aesthetic and used it in its work with Emeco.

The Su Collection is based on a meticulous approach to design and the use of new materials for the seats: solid oak salvaged from old American buildings and worked for the Emeco chairs by Amish artisans from Pennsylvania; eco-concrete (50% bottles in recycled glass and CSA, calcium sulphoaluminate); recycled polyethylene (made 75% from post-industrial material and 25% post-consumption material). Emeco’s traditional material, recycled aluminium, is used to make the legs of the SU chairs with a natural or black-anodised finish.

“After about two years work – explains Oki Sato – we are proud to present a stool that is closely linked to the Navy Chair. For us it is definitely ‘the’ stool”.
