About the collection
Garden round table d105 / outside in Steel - Collection Re-Trouvé
Designer
Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish-Italian architect and designer based in Milan. Born in Oviedo in 1961, she trained at the Madrid Polytechnic and the Politecnico di Milano under Achille Castiglioni, then worked with Vico Magistretti and Piero Lissoni before opening her own studio in 2001. Her practice spans furniture, interiors and large-scale architecture for B&B Italia, Moroso, Kettal, Mutina and the Six Senses hotel group. Re-trouvé is her curled-rod homage to the historical Italian garden chair, updating the late-nineteenth-century rod-iron vocabulary into a fully outdoor-engineered programme for Emu. The collection includes the armchair, pouf and side table, all powder-coated for permanent exposure.

The Re-trouvé lounge sits within Emu's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Emu has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Re-trouvé 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 Re-trouvé 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 Re-trouvé 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 Re-trouvé 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 Re-trouvé 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 Re-trouvé, 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.
