A Sustainable Chair


1006 Navy® Armchair w/ Wood Seat
Back by popular demand, Emeco has reissued its Navy Chair with a carved wood seat. Legend has it that Wilton Dinges, who founded Emeco in 1944, actually tossed a 1006 Navy Chair out the window of a six-story building. The result? A few minor scratches. Emeco’s 77-step patented construction process was invented to satisfy a military need for lightweight, corrosion-resistant equipment. In the late 1990s, the Navy Chair’s iconic design began catching the attention of architects and designers, initiating a new era for Emeco. Made in U.S.A.
  • Made with 80% recycled aluminum.
  • This chair has an estimated lifespan of 150 years.
  • Seat options include Cherry, Maple and Walnut. Shown in Cherry.
