Description
A robust and modern design from EMU, this pair of Rio garden chairs are made in Italy from high-quality steel with a weather-resistant powder-coated finish in a choice of colours. The tubed steel chair frames have a high resistance to weight and can withstand up to 200kg (31 stone) per chair. The manufacturing process creates a strongly characterized shape, a letter R, which is identified in the junction between the seat and backrest. All structural weldings are made with MIG welding technology which gives great resistance to stress and rust risk. The contemporary seat and back mesh, composed of steel wires, is electro-welded to the frame for a more precise look and quality finish. A special pre-treatment is used to clean and seal the steel frame before being treated with a thermosetting powder coating, producing an even layer of paint with a high level of adherence and resistance. Nylon feet supports make each chair easy to move and protect the product from scratching.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
