Product description
The Emeco SU Stool distills modern seating down to its most essential elements: a familiar seat shape, a light architectural frame, and a thoughtful palette of sustainable materials. Designed by Nendo in 2014, SU takes its name from the Japanese word meaning “plain” or “unadorned,” reflecting a design philosophy in which simplicity, usefulness, and material integrity take precedence over decoration.
That restraint gives SU an unusually versatile presence. Its gently shaped seat references the recognizable form Emeco has used in its seating since 1944, while the slender four-leg base keeps the stool visually open and easy to place around kitchen counters, home bars, restaurants, cafés, workspaces, and hospitality interiors. The proportions feel precise without looking overly engineered, allowing SU to sit comfortably in both residential and commercial environments.
Materials are central to the collection. Depending on the selected configuration, SU combines options including recycled aluminum, recycled polyethylene, cork, reclaimed or recycled oak, and eco-concrete. Cork provides a naturally warm and tactile surface, while recycled plastic creates a durable, lower-maintenance alternative. Wood configurations introduce additional warmth, and anodized aluminum bases emphasize the stool's lighter, more industrial character.
The choice of materials is more than aesthetic. Emeco developed SU as part of its continuing exploration of lower-impact materials, pairing durable construction with recycled and renewable resources. Cork is rapidly renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable, while the aluminum and recycled-plastic options extend the collection's focus on material efficiency and longevity.
SU is available in both 24-inch counter height and 30-inch bar height, making it suitable for a wide range of counter and bar applications. An optional medium-grey felt seat pad, made using recycled PET with post-consumer recycled content and a non-slip backing, can be added for extra softness without disrupting the stool's restrained profile.
Certain configurations are also suitable for outdoor use. Specifically, 2Modern identifies eco-concrete and recycled polyethylene seats paired with aluminum legs as outdoor-compatible, making those versions useful for patios, terraces, outdoor kitchens, and commercial dining environments. Soft TPU glides provide floor contact suitable for everyday use.
