Designed by Philippe Stark
for a Chinese restaurant in Paris. Inspired by
Versailles. Hand-made from 24 separate pieces of
aluminum and polished for eight hours in Pennsylvania.
Available around the world. That’s what we call détente.
It takes eight
man-hours to hand polish each stool. Hand-polished
stools develop a natural "patina" with age and use,
similar to any fine metal. Every inch of each stool 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 stool.
Brushed stools are
anodized, an electrolytic process that changes the
surface of the aluminum stool from aluminum to
diamond-hard aluminum oxide. Guaranteed for Life. |
