Story
The Navy brief
The Navy's WWII brief asked for light weight, corrosion resistance, fire resistance and a "torpedo proof" build. Emeco took it on, and in 1944 the 1006 Navy Chair was born. It was built to mil-spec and tested to last 150 years, and it has stayed in continuous production.
Brushed or polished aluminum
The armchair is built from recycled aluminum and crafted by hand in Hanover, Pennsylvania. The hand brushed finish is clear anodized, and the hand polished finish takes an additional 8 hours per chair.
