NewYorkFirst.com: Emeco U.S. Navy Chair

The “Ten-Oh-Six” Chair.

Once found on U.S. Navy destroyers and submarines, the Emeco 1006 chair, pronounced "ten-oh-six,” is the product of a collaboration between the Electric Machinery and Equipment Company (Emeco) and the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) in 1944 to produce a seaworthy chair -- corrosion resistant, maintenance free, and comprised of one continuous piece of aluminum without seams.

With a lifetime guarantee, and a commitment to the original chair, the Emeco company continues to produce these chairs one at a time, in at least 77 steps. The aluminum used in these chairs is subjected to a proprietary thermal treatment, making them three times stronger than steel. The anodized surface approaches the hardness of a diamond, and the hand-brushed finish just gets better with age, which is just as well -- this chair has a life expectancy of at least 150 years, and can be used indoors or out, in even the harshest environments. It is as near-indestructable as it is handsome.

The timeless chair spans generations and cultures and has been embraced as the quintessential retro-chic restaurant chair. It is a fixture at the Paramount Hotel in New York, as well as in restaurants all over the city and beyond. Finished in brushed aluminum. (Chair: 16”W x 19”D x 34”H; Barstool: 18”W x 21”D x 30” SH)
