Emeco Philippe Starck Emeco Hudson Bar Stools

Product details

Seller's Notes:Rare set of two Hudson Stools by Philippe Starck, originally custom made for the iconic Hudson Hotel in NYC in the 1990s. These are the hand-polished aluminum version, the highest-end finish Emeco offers, and come with fitted black seat cushions, a $300 upgrade per stool when custom ordered from Emeco. Designed by Philippe Starck, one of the most influential industrial designers in the world. Each stool is handcrafted in the USA from aircraft-grade aluminum, three times stronger than steel but incredibly light at just 8 pounds each. Built to last over 150 years. These are the most expensive and hardest-to-find version of the Hudson Stool. Hand-polished and made specifically for the Hudson Hotel, this exact model is almost never found on the secondhand market, especially in a complete set with provenance. They still sell brand new for $3,750 each. ($7500 set) These are vintage originals with honest wear and patina. I’ve left them unrestored to preserve their authenticity, perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone who values originality. Original Emeco price tags from 35 years ago are still intact on the bottom.

A timeless piece, built for lifetimes of use, to be kept, cherished and passed on for generations. Made to order. Built by hand from 80% recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania by our most skilled craftsmen. Guaranteed for life. The Hudson, designed for the Hudson hotel in NYC, is Emeco and Starck’s first collaboration. Starck described the chair as “washing the details from the Navy Chair”. Hudson is in MoMa’s permanent collection. Standard glides: soft plastic TPU glides for all-around use, including outdoor use. Alternative glides available at an upcharge.
