Design Philippe Starck, 2002

Starck first designed the Kong barstool for the Chinese restaurant Kong in Paris. Kong requires the hand welding of 24 separate pieces of aluminum, and an additional 8 hours of hand polishing. Three times stronger than steel and amazingly light weight, these chairs have a life expectancy of at least 150 years.
Brushed finish is suitable for outdoor use. Polished finish is only recommended for indoor use or protected outdoor environments.

Philippe Starck
Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous… this is how I see my duty as a designer. Philippe Starck believes that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.
Emeco holds tightly to a foundation of craftsmanship and utilitarian design. The guiding principle is sustainability, design plus craftsmanship.
