Designed by Philippe Stark for a Chinese restaurant in Paris. Inspired by Versailles. Hand-made from 24 separate pieces of aluminum and polished for eight hours in Pennsylvania. Available around the world. That’s what we call détente.  It takes eight man-hours to hand polish each chair. Hand-polished chairs develop a natural "patina" with age and use, similar to any fine metal. Every inch of each chair is hand brushed in the direction of the aluminum grain. This gives the metal warmth in appearance.

Brushed chairs are anodized, an electrolytic process that changes the surface of the aluminum chair from aluminum to diamond-hard aluminum oxide.  Guaranteed for Life.
