Revived from the archives
The Navy sofa was first made in the 1940s for the US Navy. Brought back from Emeco's archives and redesigned by Jasper Morrison in 2025, it is still shaped by hand in Hanover, Pennsylvania. A simple, functional and durable design — for indoors and out.
Aluminium and upholstery: a smart combination
A recycled-aluminium frame, both light and extremely durable, shaped by hand. Padded seat and back, dressed in your choice of fabric (Kvadrat Hero Heather, Camira RePlay), leather (Spinneybeck Volo) or Sunbrella Heritage outdoor fabric. The aluminium frame is recycled and endlessly recyclable, and the cushions can be re-covered.

Jasper Morrison
“Like the other members of the Emeco family, the Navy Lounge is built to withstand the effects of time, physically and visually. Its rare combination of indoor/outdoor flexibility, longevity, light weight and superior comfort makes it a unique offering. Add a recycled, endlessly recyclable aluminium frame and cushions that can be re-covered, and it is an exceptionally wise choice.” — Jasper Morrison.
Handmade, in Hanover
Every Navy Lounge piece is assembled by hand in Hanover, Pennsylvania, where Emeco has been making its aluminium chairs since 1944. The same gesture, the same exacting standard, passed from welder to welder.
