The chair was commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy in World War II for use on warships. Together with Alcoa experts, Emeco's founder, Witton C. "Bud" Dinges, designed the "1006", a chair so durable that it far exceeded the Navy's specifications: When Dinges threw one chair out of a sixth-floor window at a Chicago furniture show, it survived undamaged except for a few scratches. Most wartime chairs are still in perfect condition and are occasionally available on the U.S. civilian market as military surplus from mothballed Navy ships.
This metal chair can be adapted to any interior. The perfect complement to both modern and classic decors, this chair is as versatile as it is chic.
