The Hudson swivel armchair 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.  Guaranteed for Life.
