About the collection
Garden Shine Lounge chair made of Aluminum and Teak | EMU: outdoor furnitures
Designer
Arik Levy is a Tel-Aviv-born, Paris-based artist and designer. Trained at the Art Center College of Design (Europe) in La Tour-de-Peilz, he opened his Paris studio in 2001 and has worked across sculpture, lighting, furniture, public installation and product design for Vitra, Cassina, Renault and the V&A Museum. His language is precision geometry, sometimes folded, sometimes faceted, always engineered with the same rigour whether the output is a chair or a public sculpture. Shine is his outdoor dining and lounge family for Emu, a precise powder-coated aluminum skeleton with clean modern geometry. The family scales from chairs and armchairs through sun-loungers, daybeds and matching dining tables in multiple sizes.

The Shine dining sits within Emu's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Emu has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Shine 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 dining pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Shine 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 Shine 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 Shine 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 Shine 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 Shine, 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.
