Product Information

Navy Classic Semi-upholstered by Emeco, 1948

The classic semi-upholstered Navy Chair® was first introduced in 1948 when US Navy officers were redeployed off Navy Warships to land based facilities, and wanted a little more comfort than the ship board 1006 Navy Chair® provided. Since then, the 1011 Navy swivel armchair has been used for settings where an extra level of comfort and durability is demanded. Height adjustable with a tilt mechanism to adjust the angle of the seat. Offered in black leather as standard - please contact us for custom textiles.

How we make them

Material

Aluminum is smart.

It's super strong, lightweight and fire proof.
It's also non-corrosive, non-magnetic and non-bacterial.
Plus, it can be recycled endlessly.

Design

It wasn't about style.

In the throes of WWII, the US Navy needed a place to sit.
They commissioned a chair that was light weight,
non-corrosive, fire resistant and torpedo proof.
Emeco took on the challenge.
