Product Information

Kong by Philippe Starck, 2003

A timeless piece, built for lifetimes of use, to be kept, cherished and passed on for generations. Made to order. Built by hand from 80% recycled aluminum in Hanover, Pennsylvania by our most skilled craftsmen. Guaranteed for life. First designed for the Chinese restaurant Kong in Paris. The one armed barstool was intended to make it easy and graceful for the guests to slither in and out of the bar. Kong requires the hand welding of 24 separate pieces of aluminum, and 8 hours of hand polishing. Standard glides: soft plastic TPU glides for all-around use, including outdoor use. Alternative glides available at an upcharge.

Material

Now and forever.

Aluminum is super strong, lightweight and fire proof.
It's also non-corrosive, non-magnetic and non-bacterial.
Plus, it can be recycled endlessly.



Design

Philippe Starck

"Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled
material and transform it into something that never needs
to be discarded - a tireless and unbreakable chair to use
and enjoy for a lifetime."



Handcraft

Made in Hanover, PA.

No one else makes chairs this way. It takes a human eye
to know when the process is done right, and it takes
human hands to get it that way.
