Emeco Navy chair

Classic chair, timeless appeal.

February 3rd, 2010

XEmeco has re-issued the 1950s Navy chair and given it an earthy twist in the form of a timber seat created using CNC technology and FSC (renewable, certified “green” wood from a local supplier) available in rich maple, cherry or walnut with a soft, natural matte finish.

The 1104 Navy chair is a timeless classic boasting widespread appeal spanning a myriad of generations and cultures.

Emeco’s reinvigoration of this iconic chair comes with a choice of polished, powder-coated or brushed frames.

In line with its earlier traditions, the re-issued range is individually built by a handful of craftsmen following 77 steps towards product creation and constructed to last indefinitely.

The Emeco range is available exclusively through Living Edge nationwide.
