Emeco 1006 Navy Chair review

Adam Savage modified an Emeco 1006 Navy Chair over two years by drilling thousands of holes to reduce its weight from 3kg to 1.7kg. The project was more complex than anticipated but demonstrates creative experimentation with the famous WWII-era welded aluminum chair design.

Pros

  • Lightweight welded aluminum construction
  • Famous historical design from World War II for US Navy
  • Durable enough to withstand extensive modification

Cons

  • Very expensive at €775
  • Complex to work with when modifying
