The Hudson Company’s New Showroom with FAIR Opens May 11th, 2022

 

The Hudson Company and FAIR are pleased to announce their new shared showroom at 200 Lex, the New York Design Center.  Guests are invited to an open house event on Wednesday, May 11th from 3—7 PM.  

FAIR and The Hudson Company have a long history of creative collaboration.  In 2014, Brad Ford established Field+Supply, an earthy design fair held twice a year in the Hudson Valley featuring furniture, lighting, and accessories.  The Hudson Company has participated in Field+Supply for many years, welcoming visitors to explore an evolving collection of sustainably salvaged lumber, antique beams, and custom flooring.  

Founder Jamie Hammel realized that Brad Ford was a kindred aesthetic spirit, and in 2016 asked him to design The Hudson Company’s Manhattan showroom. In 2018, Hammel and Ford teamed up again when Ford designed The Hudson Company’s Ridgefield, Connecticut space. The pair also curated an exhibition called "Sitting Still" for NYCxDesign, which celebrated the craft of woodwork through the lens of the humble side chair. This new space at 200 Lex is just the latest in a long series of thoughtful collaborations between Ford and The Hudson Company, with fine materials and skillful design at its center. Visitors will recognize a familiar aesthetic, and delight in encountering new designs, forms, and inspiration.

Join Us for Sitting Still May 11 -24 

We are excited to announce Sitting Still, a field study curated by designer Brad Ford of Field + Supply. This very special in-showroom exhibition will celebrate the age-old 'art of the chair' from May 11 - 24 at The Hudson Company Showroom and will be open to the public during the showroom's normal opening hours.

Celebrating The Art Of The Chair

Sitting Still will feature iconic chair designs by George Nakashima, Finn Juhl, Jim Zivic, Fern, Michael Robbins, PP Mobler, Overgaard & Dyrman, Furniture Marolles, Coil + Drift, Sawkille, Regeneration, Weinberg Modern, Rayon Roskar, David Ebner, BDDW, Fort Standard, Egg Collective, Asher Israelow, O&G, and Materia Designs.

A few thoughts from the exhibition curator, Brad Ford

"The concept for Sitting Still is all about slowing down - specifically during the crazy month of May when there are so many things happening. Despite all the incredible things that have been done with design over the years, the chair is still probably the most relevant piece of furniture in the home, the office, the kitchen, and the public space. For the special exhibition inside The Hudson Company's 20th Street showroom, we plan to bring together twenty beautifully handcrafted chairs from various eras that represent a continuity of basic purpose despite the ever-changing tide of taste, trend, and technology."
