Note: The On & On Stacking Chair is noteworthy for its minimal use of material. The design features a spiral stacking system (up to seven units high) to minimise the footprint during transport or storage. Emeco has developed a range of colours for both of those chairs, which are brighter than those offered by most competitors working with recyclates. Like the 111 Navy Chair, the On & On Stacking Chair must be returned to the manufacturer for recycling, another consideration contributing to the mid-range ERPR achieved by this design.
