Revving up a classic design.

The article reports that when a 1951 Emeco chair built for U.S. government hospitals was discovered for sale on eBay, the Hanover, Pennsylvania-based Chair Company decided to produce an updated edition of the chair for today's market. Designed by Adrian van Hooydonk and BMW DesignworksUSA, the 1951 chair debuted at last month's Milan Furniture Fair. Joining award-winning chair designs by Philippe Starck and Frank Gehry, 1951 features a brushed aluminum frame that supports a generous ABS plastic seat and back available in five standard colors. It stacks six-high and is offered with a matching bar and counter stool.
