Details on cutting-edge materials and maintenance

1. Aluminum Frame with Emu-coat Protection

Both the solid frame of the extendable table and the lightweight chair frames are made entirely of painted aluminum. The metal is treated to impeccably resist weather, rain, and humidity thanks to the advanced Emu-coat industrial protection system. This coating prevents oxidation and maintains the set's color over time.
Aluminum Maintenance: For ordinary cleaning, simply use a soft cloth dampened with cold or warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Avoid using metal scouring pads or acidic products, which could scratch the surface. During the winter, it is advisable to store the set in a dry or protected place.

2. Seat and Backrest with Elastic Straps

The distinctive element of the Yard chairs is the interweaving of high-tech elastic straps that make up the seat and backrest. This material is specifically developed for outdoor use: it resists UV rays, does not warp with prolonged use, and does not retain water, drying instantly after summer storms.
Strap Maintenance: To remove dust or surface stains, simply use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with water and neutral soap, then rinse with fresh water.

Benefits and Design

• Record Extension System (Up to 270 cm): The Yard table offers extraordinary flexibility. Thanks to two 55 cm extensions, it goes from a compact 160 cm to a maximum extension of 270 cm. This allows you to adjust the space as desired and comfortably accommodate a large number of guests.
• The Eclectic Trait of Stefan Diez: The design breaks the mold of traditional metal garden furniture. The visual and material contrast between the structural rigidity of the aluminum and the visual softness of the woven elastic straps gives the set a unique, contemporary look with a strong personality.
• Enhanced Comfort without Cushions: The Yard chair's elastic straps offer exceptional ergonomics. By dynamically and flexibly supporting the body weight, they ensure an extremely comfortable and welcoming seat, eliminating the need to purchase and manage additional outdoor cushions.
• Lightweight and Robustvertices (Chair 2.60 kg): Thanks to the aluminum and technical materials, the chair weighs only 2.60 kg, allowing it to be moved or stacked (up to 4 units) effortlessly. Despite its featherweight, Emu engineering ensures exceptional structural solidity, with a certified static load capacity of up to 200 kg for both the table and the individual seats.

FAQ

How many extensions does the Yard extendable table have?
The table has a modular extension system with two 55 cm extensions. The top can therefore be configured to three different lengths depending on the occasion: 160 cm (closed), 215 cm (with an extension), or 270 cm (fully open).

Do the elastic straps on the chairs tend to sag or loosen over time?
No, the elastic straps used by Emu for the Yard collection are made of high-tenacity, shape-memory technological materials. They are specifically designed to maintain their optimal tension and elasticity even after years of daily use and continuous exposure to sunlight and the elements.

Can the Yard chairs be easily stored in the winter?
Absolutely. In addition to being incredibly lightweight (only 2.60 kg each), the armless Yard chairs have been engineered to stack perfectly up to four high, allowing for compact and tidy winter storage in a very small space.
