HUDSON by STARCK
The Hudson Collection
Mar 30, 2016
Philippe Starck originated the theme “Heritage Against Recycling” for the launch of the Hudson chair. His idea was that recycling was out, passé, and that what he was passionate about was products that would last forever and be handed down for generations. Gregg and Starck met in New York to plan the Milan launch, and Starck suggested that he, Gregg and Emeco would be a “parasites”, mounting a giant moving billboard with the chair on one side and Heritage Against Recycling on the other, on a van that would park in front of the big events in Milan. The billboard, and the Hudson chair were the talk of the Milan fair.

FIRST LET’S MAKE THINGS THAT LAST.
The Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was first commissioned in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy for use on warships – the contract even specified that it had to be able to withstand torpedo blasts. Today our chairs are still made in the U.S.A., of 80% recycled aluminum, and are made by hand, by Emeco craftsmen using the original 77 step process. The world’s best architects and designers collaborate with us to design chairs that are built and guaranteed to last a lifetime.
As we apply what we’ve practiced in the past, we are looking toward the future. We are on a mission to make a positive impact on the environment. Our goals are to use waste material in our products, use as little energy as possible in our manufacturing, generate a minimum of waste in the process, and build strong, durable, beautiful chairs that last through generations. We’ve been on the same mission since 1944 and we will continue to search for new ways to recover and utilize discarded materials and make products that last.

HUDSON BY STARCKThe Hudson Chair, designed for the Hudson Hotel in New York City, was Emeco and Philippe Starck’s first collaboration. Starck described the chair as “washing the details from the Navy Chair.” It takes an additional 8 hours to polish each Hud-son Chair. Hudson is in MoMA’s permanent collection.
