The Collection is a charming fusion of comfort and durability, a sense of embracement; raw industrial strength yet with the sensual sophistication of French lounge seats.

First installed at The Sezz Hotel St Tropez, Emeco is pleased to present a collection of designed aluminum chairs, stools and swivel chairs entitled Sezz by French designer Christophe Pillet. Known for works that meditate on notions of time as well as the aesthetic and illustrative memory, Pillet brings these themes together in five pieces: A series of timeless, handmade recycled aluminum chairs and stools manufactured at the Emeco factory in Pennsylvania US. ‘The Sezz chair is a little story about Emeco and what Emeco has become the capacity of the best of the best. It is a specific story, an interpretation of the Emeco way,’ says Pillet. ‘When I sit in a Sezz chair it makes me feel happy. Christophe combined our craftsmanship, material, and unique process to create a new modern icon,’ said Gregg Buchbinder, CEO at Emeco.

Pillet’s collaboration with Emeco commenced specially for the Sezz Hotel in St Tropez where he envisioned interiors with a sense of deep value; the connotation of a home away from home. By blending furniture like a vacation house, Pillet creates an intimate and homely feeling. ‘When I was a young kid, I grew up in a home full of Eames furniture. At that time they looked modern and unique and they still do today. Christophe has captured that same poetry. Sezz will be forever young,’ said Buchbinder.

The Collection is a charming fusion of comfort and durability, a sense of embracement; raw industrial strength yet with the sensual sophistication of French lounge seats. ‘The look is very subtle, but holds an unbelievable quality; you don’t see the welding, the recycled aluminum, the indestructibleness, they are all real but invisible values, the hidden territory of
a luxury product,’ said Pillet.
