First built for use on submarines for the US Navy in 1944, the original Navy Chair has been in continuous production ever since. Built by hand from recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with the famous 77 step process, the Emeco craftsmen take soft, recycled aluminum, hand form and weld it- then temper it for strength. Finally, the chair is anodized for a durable finish. It is lightweight, non-corrosive, fire resistant and super strong. Guaranteed for the lifetime of the owner.
