Philippe Starck and Emeco came together to create a new chair that is reclaimed, repurposed, recyclable – and designed to last. The chair is made from 75% waste polypropylene and 15% reclaimed wood fiber that would normally be swept into the trash.

“Imagine”, said Philippe Starck, “A guy who takes a humble broom and starts to clean the workshop, and with this dust he makes new magic.” That’s why we’ve called it Broom. Emeco developed a new environmentally sound material built on a formula using 90% industrial waste, reclaiming plastic and wood fibers from the industry floors, materials that otherwise would end up in the landfill. Emeco calls this “Positive de-growth” – making progress without making waste. Broom was first launched in Milan in 2012.
