Similarly to its Navy® Collection counterparts, the Navy® Stool shares the same minimal and recognizable profile. While originally built in 1944 for use within submarines, the stool's minimal profile has turned into a modern day chic furnishing piece for the kitchen or dining area with its simple design and comfortably placed armrests and molded seat. The stool boasts a unique construction that involves a 77 step process where craftsmen form and weld recycled aluminum, strengthen it by tempering the metal and finishing it by anodizing it. Great for any modern dining space, the Navy® Stool offers a comfortable and stylish seat that'll guarantee lasting quality and design.
