The Emeco Navy Chair, often referred to as the "1006" chair, was designed in 1944 specifically for the U.S. Navy, with a need for chairs that were lightweight, non-corrosive, and could endure the harsh conditions of life at sea, including the impact of torpedo blasts. Crafted using 80% recycled aluminum, this chair undergoes a meticulous 77-step manufacturing process that includes forming, welding, grinding, heat-treating, and anodizing, resulting in a product that's three times stronger than steel. Its minimalist design lacks unnecessary joints or embellishments, which could be potential weak points, and its anodized finish ensures resistance to corrosion and scratches. Emeco's confidence in the chair's resilience is evident in their various demonstrations, such as dropping the chair from great heights or showing it support a tractor's weight. Additionally, they offer a lifetime guarantee, underscoring their trust in its enduring construction. Not only is the Emeco Navy Chair renowned for its durability, but its longevity also positions it as an environmentally-friendly choice, reducing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to decreased waste. The chair's combination of history, rigorous production standards, and sustainability commitment has made it a staple in both commercial and residential environments for decades.
