FIRST LET’S MAKE THINGS THAT LAST. The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was first commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy for use on warships – the contract even specified that it had to be able to withstand torpedo blasts. Today our chairs are still made in the U.S.A., of 80% recycled aluminum, and are made by hand, by Emeco craftsmen using the original 77 step process. The world’s best architects and designers collaborate with us to design chairs that are built and guaranteed to last a lifetime. As we apply what we’ve practiced in the past, we are looking toward the future. We are on a mission to...
Open the catalog to page 3FIRST PRINCIPLES. LASTING VALUES. At Emeco, we are committed to the principles on which our company and culture were built – quality, excellence, trust, honesty and lasting value. Our first product, the Navy Chair, was made to last a hundred and fifty years. It was light, smart, functional and strong – because that was the best we could do. Much of what is manufactured today is destined for the trash heap. Not so with Emeco -- our products are handcrafted to last, and the principles that built our first chair still guide us today.

Open the catalog to page 8NEW MATERIAL FROM EMECO. We get the most out of the material we use. For years, that material was aluminum. We developed a way to work with it to make products of extraordinary strength, durability and beauty. It took us a long time to find a new material that could inspire us the way that aluminum does, and even more time to develop the new material we now use for the 111 Navy Chair. It’s strong, durable, and it has a deep beauty that people love when they touch it. And it’s made from recycled plastic bottles. In fact, we called it the 111 Navy Chair because every chair we make keeps 111...
