Tradition and sustainability come together to create this beautiful chair. First built for submarines in 1944, the Navy chair is famously built using a 77-step process that includes hand forming, welding, tempering, and finally, anodizing. No one else makes chairs this way. No one can. It takes a human eye to know when the process is done right, and it takes human hands to get it that way.

To clean, use a soft cloth with soap and water or a household cleaning spray. Do not use stainless steel cleaners. For heavy cleaning or oil, use very hot water and a strong soap followed by light scrubbing in the direction of the grain with a soft-bristled brush. Car wax may be applied to polished finishes.
