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.

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
