2013 Emeco Navy Armchair, Model 1006-A by Emeco for Emeco Aluminum
This is an original Emeco Armchair, Model 1006-A, designed in 1944 for the U.S. Navy. This example dates to 2013. The chair was built by hand from recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Aluminum is an excellent material for seating as it is lightweight, and is also naturally fireproof.
The chair measures 20.75 inches long, 19.5 inches wide, and 34 inches high. The seat height is 18 inches. The piece is stamped underneath and retains its Emeco plaque. The legs have some black marks on them, and there are a few light scratches. Overall, this chair is in good condition with some wear. Please see photos.
