Their design was begun in 1944 with 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 and they’re still made there today. Timeless. A collection of 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.
