Gregg Buchbinder, president and CEO of Emeco, will discuss the remarkable history of his furniture company that was commissioned by the U.S. Navy during World War II to design chairs that could withstand water, salt air, and sailors.
Under Buchbinder's direction, Emeco has collaborated with internationally renowned designers - among them Philippe Starck, Frank Gehry, and Norman Foster - with the goal of finding innovative ways to create environmentally responsible products that use waste materials and less energy in the manufacturing process.
