About this seller
Product description
This Emeco Hudson office chair, designed by Philippe Starck, is an understated yet distinctive example of late 20th-century industrial design.
Crafted in brushed aluminium with a white soft seat, the chair combines a functional appearance with a surprisingly refined design.
With a width of approx. 40 cm, a depth of approx. 56 cm, and an adjustable seat height of approximately 43 to 51 cm, the chair is compact yet comfortable. The backrest reclines slightly and supports an active sitting posture, while the swivel seat and five casters ensure smooth operation. The chair features a relaxed reclining function.
The chair shows visible signs of wear. Aluminium is a material that does not hide signs of use but registers them. The light scratches and matte spots on this chair are traces of interaction and regular use.
Unlike lacquered or upholstered furniture, aluminium ages visibly and evenly. This contributes to a patina that gives the object a more lived-in look without compromising its functionality. It gives the object a weathered character and emphasizes the honest use of materials for which Emeco is known.
Emeco (Electric Machine and Equipment Company) has a long history of producing extremely durable aluminum furniture. Originally developed for military applications, the brand is known for its focus on longevity and structural integrity.
A strong choice for those seeking a desk or work chair with a distinct design background, without compromising on functionality or durability.
Top French designer Philippe Starck is known for his ability to redefine everyday objects without obscuring their functionality. His work often operates at the intersection of irony, rationality, and industrial clarity.
The Hudson chair demonstrates Starck's preference for clear volumes and honest materials. Instead of suggesting comfort through thick upholstery, comfort is achieved here through ergonomic proportions and subtle slopes.
This design fits within Starck's broader approach in which form is never separate from use. The chair is designed to be used intensively, not merely to be admired from a distance. new price 1,995 euros
perfect for a desk or workspace in a home environment, studio or workshop setup, or a minimalist or industrial interior
Emeco’s industrial heritage translated into everyday use - Postmodern functionalism without ironic excess
