About the collection
Garden Heaven Lounge chair made of Steel | EMU: outdoor furnitures
Designer
Jean-Marie Massaud is a French designer working between Paris and Milan, with a practice that moves freely between furniture, interiors, hotels, yachts and large-scale architecture. Trained at the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI–Les Ateliers), he opened Studio Massaud in 2000 after a decade of independent practice. The Massaud signature is formal restraint extended to the point of disappearance, with structures often reduced to a fine line of metal supporting a single textile plane. His outdoor commission for Emu covers the Heaven family. Heaven extends his vocabulary into a woven outdoor textile seat on a fine aluminum-frame skeleton, with armchair and lounge variants designed for sustained outdoor exposure.

The Heaven lounge sits within Emu's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Emu has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Heaven is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Emu's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Emu's in-house design team.
Emu's lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Heaven carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Emu catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Heaven at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Heaven configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Emu runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Heaven is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Emu non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Emu collections, including Heaven, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
