Emu coffee table Tami

The Tami rectangular coffee table, conceived by renowned designer Patrick Norguet, is the ideal complement to complement the eponymous modular outdoor seating system with functionality and elegance. Its supporting structure is based on cutting-edge engineering in painted aluminum, onto which the slats of the table top are mounted using an exclusive and clean geometric interlocking system. Perfect for placing in the center of an outdoor living area, next to sofas and armchairs, this coffee table is designed to withstand the elements unaltered over time and to adapt stylishly to gardens, luxury terraces, and contract outdoor spaces.

Configuration Options Top

The Tami rectangular coffee table top is highly customizable and available in two exclusive, high-quality material options:

• WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) Bamboo Top: A cutting-edge, eco-sustainable composite material obtained from recycled wood and bamboo fibers. It is 100% recyclable, resistant to water, weather, and bacteria, and extremely easy to clean.
• Heat-Treated Natural Bamboo Top: A premium organic choice. The bamboo slats are heat-treated at 200°C and then hot-compressed, making them harder, denser, and more resistant than any other wood species, protecting them from fungi and mold.

Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Painted Aluminum Frame

The supporting frame and special support profiles are made of high-quality aluminum alloy with polyester powder coating, an industrial technology that prevents corrosion.
Aluminum Maintenance: Clean periodically with a soft cloth using water and neutral liquid detergents. More frequent cleaning is recommended in high-humidity or marine climates. During the winter months or if the table will not be used for extended periods, we recommend cleaning it and storing it in a sheltered area.

2. Bamboo WPC Slats (Simplified Maintenance)

This composite material does not splinter, is not damaged by insects or bacteria, and does not require periodic protective coatings.
WPC Maintenance: To remove common dust and debris, use a standard vacuum cleaner. For dirty stains, wash with a laundry brush using warm water and neutral soap. If oily or greasy substances spill, blot immediately with absorbent paper and clean the area with warm water and neutral soap. Note: Do not use pressure washers, bleach, chlorine, or strongly acidic or alkaline detergents.

3. Solid Bamboo Slats (Natural Material)

Since this is a natural, untreated wood, if exposed outdoors, it is subject to stains and tends to oxidize due to climatic factors, turning a gray color.
Bamboo Maintenance: To limit and reduce the effects of stains and natural graying, we strongly recommend applying a specific protective oil at least once a year. For routine cleaning and surface sanitization of the slats, simply use running water and neutral liquid detergents.

Benefits and Design

• Patrick Norguet's Signature: The coffee table faithfully reproduces the geometric, ethereal design of the entire Tami collection. The clean industrial profiles of the metal frame blend harmoniously with the visual warmth of the slatted top, creating a living room furniture piece with high stylistic value.
• Eco-Friendly, Highly Resistant Materials: The use of 100% recycled WPC demonstrates EMU's strong focus on eco-sustainability, while also offering a table top that is completely waterproof and extremely easy to maintain on a daily basis.
• Excellent Ground Balance (Up to 31.6 kg): The table's structural weight ensures impeccable static stability on outdoor areas and open terraces, preventing the furniture from shifting or tipping over in strong gusts of wind.
• Spacious Service Surface (132 x 57 cm): The large dimensions of the rectangular table top offer plenty of spacenecessary for holding magazines, drinks, dishes, or decorative items, while the modest height of 42 cm is perfectly calibrated for the Tami seating modules.

FAQ

Which of the two versions of the Tami table top requires less maintenance?
The version with the Bamboo WPC top does not require any special maintenance, oiling, or varnishing, maintaining its original appearance over time with simple washing with water and neutral soap. The bamboo version, being a natural, living material, requires the application of a protective oil at least once a year to counteract the natural graying and oxidation process caused by sunlight.

Can I use a pressure washer to clean the Tami coffee table?
No, the use of pressure washers or high-pressure cleaners is strongly discouraged on both WPC and bamboo slats, as the force of the water jet could scratch the composite's finish or damage the natural wood fibers. For maintenance, it is always best to use a soft brush or cloth with warm water.

What does the maximum load of 100 kg mean for this coffee table?
The static load of 100 kg indicates the maximum vertical weight that the aluminum frame and interlocking slats can safely support. This value is strictly guaranteed as long as the weight is distributed evenly and steadily across the surface, preventing the table from being used improperly as a seat or step.
