Hudson Barstool with Arms

Emeco chairs began in 1944 with a collaboration between Emeco and ALCOA to develop a seaworthy chair for military use. ALCOA’s scientists and Navy engineers consulted with Emeco to produce the Navy Chair in Emeco’s Hanover, PA workshops where all of their chair collections are still made today. Built individually by a handful of craftsmen, 77 painstaking steps at a time. Philippe Starck created and named The Hudson 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.” This model has been designed at perfect bar height with the seat sitting at 29.5" and features beautifully shaped arms that lend to the natural character of the piece.
