The Emeco 1006 chair, also called the Navy chair, is an aluminum chair produced by the Electric Machine and Equipment Company (Emeco) in Hanover, Pennsylvania. The chair was commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy in World War II for use on warships. The Emeco Navy Bench takes the original designed Emeco Chair and elongates the design to the size of a bench. The Emeco Navy Bench takes the original designed Emeco Chair from the 1940′s and elongates the design to the size of a bench. The polished surface of the bench accentuates the distortion of the design by the reflection that is created on the surface. The bench is made of aluminum with an anodized finish. I love one of the colors especially – tender pink, it gives the piece a special charm.
