Incredibly iconic chair and an investment piece meant to be enjoyed.  Great condition but there are a few scratches so it is not in perfect condition - but still excellent.  And a fraction of the price new.  Currently for sale at Hive Modern for $1389.50 plus taxes - and that is the lowest I have seen (link at bottom).  And it takes 12-14 weeks lead time! 
 
Save a bundle for a very gently used one that is certain to hold its value.

Design Philippe Starck, 2000
Thermal treated recycled aluminum
Made in USA by Emeco

The Hudson chair is a spectacular update backed by an iconic bloodline. Philippe Starck created and named it for Ian Schrager's Hudson Hotel in Manhattan. Included in the design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Hudson was selected by the Chicago Athanaeum as one of the top designs for 2000, winning the prestigious "Good Design Award". Three times stronger than steel and amazingly light weight, these chairs have a life expectancy of at least 150 years. Timeless. Chairs admired today - and indefinitely. Chairs that span generations and cultures.

The Hudson Swivel chair offers swivel/tilt, tension and pneumatic height adjustment.
