Alfi 3-seat bench, 2015
Alfi 3-seat bench by Jasper Morrison for Emeco.
The Alfi 3-seat bench bares the hallmarks of Jasper Morrison's Japanese-inspired 'super normal' philosophy. Made from reclaimed polypropylene and wood fiber with solid ash legs, the Alfi bench has a minimalist profile and a timeless aesthetic.
The Alfi Collection reflects Emeco and Morrison’s common appreciation for the invisible qualities behind simplicity. Made of reclaimed and responsibly selected materials, engineered for comfort and strength, and designed to be humble and timeless.
Alfi seats are made of 100% reclaimed post-industrial waste – 92.5% polypropylene combined with 7.5% wood fiber. Bases are made of locally sourced wood and handcrafted by Amish craftsmen.
“Alfi is a highly comfortable, well-made chair for cafés, bistros, restaurants, kitchens, schools, libraries, waiting rooms and wherever else an impression of relaxed uniformity combined with visual and physical comfort is needed. It was inspired by the woven cane brasserie chairs you see out everywhere on Parisian sidewalks which have rounded backs and flat seats. The Emeco wood filled reclaimed polypropylene seat combines beautifully with the ash wooden leg structures, providing a rich play of materials and finishes. It's one of the most comfortable chairs I have designed.”

Electric Machine and Equipment Company (Emeco) was founded in 1944, in Baltimore, by Witton C. "Bud" Dinges, a Johns Hopkins-educated engineer who wanted to cash in on the booming business of supplying the military with steel and aluminum furniture.
The company moved to Hanover in 1947 because Dinges had heard that there were highly skilled hand labourers in the area. In 1954, the firm moved into the current factory on Elm Street, a glass and stone Modernist building at the base of a sloping green lawn.
Today the company employs just 35 workers and completes about 1,000 chairs a month. The company also works with internationally renowned designers and architects such as Philippe Starck and Norman Foster.
