Durable, adaptable, and comfortable. Emeco furniture can withstand the rigors of everyday use in student or faculty housing, and it is also easy to clean and maintain. Made with recycled materials and available in multiple finishes, Emeco's collections can match the specific needs of any community.

From traditional classrooms to active learning spaces, including labs, lecture halls and outdoor spaces. Emeco helps create dynamic environments that enhance the student’s academic experience.

Cafeterias and hospitality areas

Emeco chairs and tables can be seen across cafeterias, coffee shops and other casual dining spaces in campuses across the world. Our furniture is durable in high-traffic areas, easy to clean and sustainably produced with recycled materials.

Outdoor spaces

Made from high-quality recycled materials, our outdoor furniture can withstand the harshest of elements. From sun to snow, it won't fade, rust, or wear down.
