The Classic semi-upholstered Navy Officer Swivel Armchair was first introduced in 1948 when US Navy officers were redeployed off Navy Warships to land based facilities, and wanted a little more comfort than the ship board 1006 Navy chair provided. Since then, this iconic series has been used for working and dining in settings where an extra level of comfort and durability is demanded. With its long history, the aluminum and black leather seat chair is humble but proud unimpeachable symbol of no-nonsense American ingenuity.
