Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair, originally commissioned by the U.S. Navy in the 1940s, is renowned for its durability, having been designed to withstand torpedo blasts. Today, Emeco continues to produce these chairs in the U.S.A. using 80% recycled aluminum and a meticulous 77-step handcrafting process. The company collaborates with leading architects and designers to create chairs that are guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Environmental Mission
Emeco is committed to environmental sustainability, aiming to use waste materials, minimize energy consumption, and reduce waste in manufacturing. Since 1944, the company has focused on creating durable products that utilize discarded materials.

Material Innovation
Emeco has expanded its material use beyond aluminum, developing a new material from recycled plastic bottles in collaboration with Coca-Cola. This innovation led to the creation of the 111 Navy Chair, named for the 111 plastic bottles used in each chair. The chair is noted for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

American Innovation
CEO Gregg Buchbinder highlights the impact of using recycled PET from millions of discarded bottles, transforming waste into a valued product that customers cherish.

Design and Recognition
The 111 Navy Chair, a result of Emeco and Coca-Cola's collaboration, is a sustainable and timeless design. It has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2012 International Plastic Design competition and the 2011 Dwell Modern World awards.

Specifications
The chair measures 15.5” W x 19.5” D x 34” H (39cm x 50cm x 86cm) and weighs 12.5lb (5.7kg). It is made of 65% post-consumer recycled PET and meets durability and fire retardancy standards. It comes with a 5-year indoor warranty and a 2-year light fast warranty for outdoor use.

NEW MATERIAL FROM EMECO. We get the most out of the material we use. For years, that material was aluminum.
