Coca-Cola and Emeco worked together on the 111 Navy chair to solve an environmental problem: how to recycle consumer waste to create a durable, timeless and classic chair. Made from 111 recycled bottles, the 111 Navy chair is a story of innovation. It is made of 65% recycled PET and 35% fibreglass. Like the 1006 Navy, the 111 Navy chair is both sturdy and lightweight and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Available in 7 colours, this iconic Emeco chair will look great around a table, in a relaxation area or on a patio.
American furniture company Emeco was founded in 1944 to manufacture lightweight, non-corrosive, fire-resistant and anti-torpedo chairs for the US Navy. The classic 1006 Navy Chair was a result of this aim. Made to last for at least 150 years, lightweight, intelligent, functional and solid - because "it was the best we could do". Today, Emeco’s craftsmen in Hanover, Pennsylvania, continue to make chairs that are so resistant they are passed on from generation to generation - Emeco defines the concept of sustainability. Emeco leads the industry, explores and innovates in terms of industrial waste and environmentally-friendly resources to create and build simple and timeless furniture.
