The Emeco 1006 code named Navy Chair, was produced first in Hanover, Pennsylvania; and commissioned by the US Navy for use aboard battleships. The idea was that the aluminum chair would hold up to the rigors of sea faring and withstand torpedo blasts on the side of a ship. The chair held up so well that it surpassed all expectations of the Navy Commission, so much so, that it was implemented on all ships manufactured during 1940. Currently the chair is a selling staple at Room & Board, Design Within Reach, and Hive. Because of its manufacturing process it is available in a wide range of colors, though the original aluminum steals my heart every time. I'm a fan of it when it's paired with a great reclaimed table or dark wood desk!
