Their
design began in 1944 with a collaboration between Emeco and ALCOA to
develop a seaworthy chair for military use. ALCOA's scientists and Navy
engineers consulted with Emeco to produce this chair in Emeco's
Hanover, PA workshops where they are still made today. Timeless. Chairs
admired today ' and indefinitely. Chairs that span generations and
cultures. Built individually by a handful of craftsmen, 77 painstaking
steps at a time. The enduring Emeco Classic as reinvented by Philippe
Starck. This particular model features the sophistication of the
original Navy Chair designed with the comfort of a black volo leather
semi-upholstered back such that its characteristic back design is
apparent, as well as a fully upholstered leather seat, and black vinyl
arm cushions. It sits upon a swivel/tilt base with tension and
pneumatic height adjustment.

Emeco builds great chairs. Since 1944, Emeco has been focused on a single goal: combining the best materials with the highest skilled craftsman. Quality hasn't been an accident. It's about process and people. Emeco chairs have become universal within the design community. The Naval Chair and its descendants grace fashion spreads, hotels, restaurants, offices, television, and feature-length films. They have played an integral role in great spaces for over half a century.
Emeco (The Electric Machine and Equipment Co.) was founded in 1944 by Wilton C. Dinges. Emeco's manufacturing process is the result of a collaboration with ALCOA to develop a seaworthy chair for military use. ALCOA's scientists and Navy engineers consulted with Emeco to produce the chairs in the Hanover, PA workshops and they're still made there today. Emeco's founder, Wilton C. Dinges, was a master tool and die maker, with an engineering background. His engineering ability was complemented by an appreciation for sculpture, specifically Rodin. He portrayed these two passions in an advertising campaign which expressed his original vision ' the Emeco chair as a one piece sculptured masterwork. Today Emeco is led by CEO Gregg Buchbinder who sums up their vision as: design plus craftsmanship.
