outdoor furniture producer emu's latest product is called 'pattern',
a family of chairs and tables designed by arik levy.

'pattern' table and chair set, on exhibition at maison et objet


the chair shell is made in pressed and molded sheet metal, using the deep drawing process,
starting with a single sheet of steel with mechanical properties specially designed to obtain
the desired shapes.

the legs are made by the same technique, and are then joined to the structure
using advanced welding process (TIG). the final effect is that of a monolithic steel structure.
the hexagonal pattern decorates the seat and backs of the chairs, and is repeated on the table tops as well.
