First built for use on submarines in 1944, the Navy Chair has been in continuous production ever since. With the famous 77 step Process, 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. Emeco guarantees the Navy Chairs for life. Others have tried to duplicate the process but the result is nothing even close in quality to the original.

Emeco was originally founded following a collaborative project with Alcoa to develop a seaworthy chair for submarines and warships. The Navy chairs are impervious to corrosion, non magnetic, lightweight and most importantly incredibly strong - attributes of aluminum that we have now grown to appreciate and love. By the end of the 1950's Emeco aluminum chairs outfitted all famous U.S Navy Ships and submarines including the first nuclear submarine, Nautilus.

Available in either brushed or polished finish.
