Hudson Armchair
The Emeco Hudson Armchair by Philippe Starck brings a simplified interpretation of the Navy chair to an aluminum seat with arms.
Part of the collection originally designed for New York’s Hudson Hotel, it is handcrafted from recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Hand-brushed and hand-polished finishes offer two treatments of the same open metal form.
