1006 Navy Chair

Emeco for the U.S. Navy, 1944

First built for use on submarines for the US Navy in 1944, the original Navy Chair has been in continuous production ever since. Built by hand from recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with the famous 77 step process, the Emeco craftsmen take soft, recycled aluminum, hand form and weld it- then temper it for strength. Finally, the chair is anodized for a durable finish. It is lightweight, non-corrosive, fire resistant and super strong. Guaranteed for the lifetime of the owner.

The maker · Hanover, Pennsylvania

Emeco

Emeco was founded in 1944 in Hanover, Pennsylvania, to build a chair for the U.S. Navy that was light, strong and able to survive life at sea. The 1006 Navy Chair is still made there by hand, from recycled aluminium, in seventy-seven steps.
