111 Navy Chair

It is based on the Emeco 1006 chair originally built for Navy warships during World War II.

"[1] The company saw it as an opportunity to develop an innovative, structurally sound material and keep plastic bottles out of the landfill.

[4] The two companies began to talk about the possibilities of recreating the iconic Navy Chair using rPET.

[3] Soft recycled PET plastic was originally intended for short-lived fabric and textiles and Emeco needed to build a tough, one-piece, scratch-resistant chair for heavy-duty use.

Craftsmen add the H brace to make the chair sturdier and they smooth out any imperfections that result from injection moulding.
