Emu Stacking chair Red Metal. Dimensions: L 53.5 x Depth 61.5 cm x H
83.5 cm – Seat: H 45 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 ethereal
silhouette of this 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 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.
