EMU’s Rio Chair Celebrates 50 Years + an Expanded Collection

This year, EMU’s iconic Rio chair is marking its 50th anniversary, and to celebrate it has been reimagined as a full outdoor seating series by Anton Cristell and Emanuel Gargano. The Rio R50 furniture collection features a chair, armchair, lounge chair, rocker, stool and coffee table, all based upon the design of the beloved original. Light but sturdy, Rio’s deep seat is comfortable and durable with a slim profile. Each chair has been created to withstand the elements using high-quality steel, and is coated in outdoor grade powder coat paint finishes. The Rio R50 collection is currently available in 11 color options.
