Emu Rocking chair Red Metal. Dimensions: L 67 x Depth 72 cm x H 77 cm –
Seat: H 40 cm – Armrests: H 60 cm. The “Rio R50” collection is a
tribute to the Rio armchair, one of the historic models by Emu, which is
celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The Rio armchair was produced
between 1960 and 1970. The retro grace of this mesh metal collection is
brought up to date by the use of modern materials and manufacturing techniques.
The aerial silhouette of this rocking chair represents a minimal, refined
graphic sign. The metal mesh makes the volume of the chair intangible. With its
simple, essential lines, Rio 50 finds its place in different environments, from
the house to the garden. With more than fifty years’ experience in
metalworking, Emu expresses its style in gardens and on terraces all around the
world. Emu creations have become icons in the world of made in Italy design and
quality. The Rio 50 rocking chair consists of an ASFORM steel tube structure,
high-quality steel with advanced mechanical capacities and high
weight-resistance. The steel tube is characterised by a clearly visible R in the
area where the seat joins the backrest. All its structural welds are carried out
using Ming technology, which provides better resistance to stresses and reduces
the risk of rust while, for greater precision, the steel wire mesh is
electro-welded to the structure. As with all EMU steel products, a cataphoresis
pre-treatment is applied, followed by the application of a thermosetting powder
paint. So the product is covered with a layer of paint of uniform thickness,
offering a high degree of adhesion and resistance. The presence of nylon caps at
the end of the feet helps protect the product and make it easier to move
around.
