Emu metal garden furniture
The Italian company Emu (Elettro Meccanica Umbra) was founded in 1951 and initially produced technology for the military. Building on this work and the technical expertise it brought, Emu found its true calling and began developing outdoor furniture – the field in which it could best apply its knowledge of technology and the latest processing techniques.
The basis of its success was a passion for researching and developing new technologies combined with fresh design. Its first major success came in 1966 with the "Rio" chair, of which more than eight million have been sold to date. By the 1990s, Emu had built and consolidated its reputation as an internationally recognised company and a benchmark for Italian design and quality.
Today, Emu is represented in more than 50 countries and works with internationally renowned designers such as Jean-Marie Massaud, Christophe Pillet and Rodolfo Dordoni. Its furniture, made mainly of aluminium and other metals, combines tradition and design, comfort and practicality.
