Philippe Starck Emeco Barstool. Original Price: $1,240

Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of Emeco Barstools by Design Within Reach. Designed by Philippe Starck in 2001. The straightforward Emeco Stool is crafted using the same 77-step process that Emeco perfected to satisfy the military’s need for lightweight, corrosion-resistant chairs for submarines during WWII. The company’s proprietary metal processing method yields aluminum three times stronger than steel and a stool so durable that it has an estimated life span of 150 years. Stool with brushed finish suitable for outdoor use. In good condition, visible and minor wear.
