Description:
1960's Original Aluminium Emeco 1006 Navy Dining Chair - Set Of Six. Founded in 1944 in the USA, Emeco rose to commercial fame with the production of the Navy 1006 chair, an iconic aluminium chair design produced in aluminium for the US Navy. The chair was lightweight yet tough and crucially less likely to cause a spark if dragged on a steel floor, an essential for safety on board submarines and navy ships. By 1955, Emeco was producing 200,000 chairs per year. In the 90's Emeco collaborated with Philippe Starcke and rose to international design fame. These are original Emeco chairs with the makers label. It is difficult to date them but they are probably 1960's. Seat Height: 46cm
