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.
