The Hudson chair is a spectacular update backed by an
iconic bloodline. Philippe Starck created and named it
for Ian Schrager's Hudson Hotel in New York. The Hudson
is included in the design collection of the Museum of
Modern Art, and was selected by the Chicago Athenaeum as
one of the top 100 designs for 2000, winning the
prestigious "Good Design Award".
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.
Craftsmen grind each weld flush
for a one-piece appearance. It’s a super-precise
technique - you won't see this on any other aluminum
chair.
Brushed chairs are anodized, an
electrolytic process that changes the surface of the
aluminum chair from aluminum to diamond-hard aluminum
oxide.
