Emeco Philippe Starck Hudson Chairs, Set of Four. Original Price: $3,700

Design Plus Gallery presents a Set of Four Hudson Chairs by Emeco. Designed by Philippe Starck. Originally designed for the Hudson Hotel in New York City, the Hudson Collection is Philippe Starck’s update of the 1006 Navy® Chair, designed by Emeco in 1944. Hudson is made using the same 77-step process that Emeco perfected 70 years ago to satisfy the military’s need for lightweight, corrosion-resistant chairs for submarines. The company’s proprietary metal processing method yields aluminum three times stronger than steel and a chair so durable that it has an estimated life span of 150 years. Hudson is included in the design collection at MoMA and received the 2000 Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum. Chair with brushed finish suitable for outdoor use. This is the authentic Hudson Chair by Emeco. Made in U.S.A. Seat Height 18 inches
