Story
Revived from the archive
The Navy sofa has returned from Emeco's archive. It was first made for the US Navy in the 1940s, when WWII brought a need for a sofa for ships and land based facilities, and it has been re-designed by Jasper Morrison. The frame is still built by hand in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Aluminum with upholstery
The series is designed to weather the effects of time both physically and visually, combining indoor and outdoor flexibility, longevity, light weight and comfort. The aluminum frame is recycled and recyclable endlessly, and the cushions can be re-covered. The frame is made with the hand welding and heat treating process used since 1944.
