A Navy commission, rebuilt in wood

The Navy chair began as a wartime request: during WWII the US Navy wanted a seat that was light, non-corrosive, fire resistant and torpedo proof, and Emeco took on the job. The Navy Wood Chair is a version in solid wood: the same timeless design, with heritage engrained. It dates to 2019.

Wood from local forests

The chairs use only wood from local, sustainably managed forests, sourced and crafted in partnership with Amish neighbours in Lancaster, PA. The wood is shaped for strength and grace to make a chair that celebrates simple, honest design.
