Founded on the principle ”Begin with what’s left over, turn it into what will last”, American furniture maker Emeco has been building chairs from recycled materials for over 75 years.  In the throes of World War II, the U.S. Navy needed a place to sit and Emeco took up the challenge and in 1944 the 1006 Navy Chair® was born.  Built by hand at their factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania using a unique 77-step process and scrap aluminium – a wartime necessity Emeco has been building chairs from recycled aluminium so strong, that they guarantee them for life.
