Free Online Course Offers Continuing Education Credits to Architects and Designers

Hanover, PA (PRWeb) March 4, 2007 -- Architects and Designers can now take a free on-line course for credit about the manufacture and design of aluminum furniture. The course, "Crafting High-Quality Furniture: An Architectural Approach" can be found at AEC Daily On-line. Emeco, the Aluminum Chair Company, sponsors the course.

The one-hour course is approved by the AIA (American Institute of Architects), CSI (Construction Specifications Institute), and IDEC (Interior Design Continuing Education Council) and participants will receive 1.0 learning unit (AIA/ CSI) or 0.1 CEU (IDCEC).

Emeco is one of the few furniture companies using a specific manufacturing process and proprietary tempering technique to build aluminum furniture -- resulting in chairs with an estimated life span of 150 years.

Emeco was founded in 1944 to make all-aluminum chairs for the US Navy. Gregg Buchbinder purchased the company in 1998 and began a friendship and association with the renowned French architect, Philippe Starck, creating a series of products that united Emeco's historic manufacturing capabilities with Mr. Starck's classic designs for a new century. In 2000, Mr. Starck's Hudson chair for Emeco won the GOOD DESIGN Award and was inducted into the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

In 2004, Emeco collaborated with the American architect Frank Gehry on Superlight, a chair that utilizes aluminum's ability to be both strong and flexible. Mr. Gehry's chair won another GOOD DESIGN award in 2004 and was included in collections at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Pinakothek der Modern in Munich. Most recently, Emeco worked with BMW DesignworksUSA to re-interpret a long-lost Emeco chair from 1951 for the contemporary market. Emeco's most recent collaboration is with Foster and Partners on an all-aluminum stacking chair.

Emeco, located in Hanover PA, has made over 1,000,000 Navy chairs since 1944, and now sells its recycled aluminum furniture in 50 countries. For more information, please visit Emeco.net.
