GANDIABLASCO EME Powder coated aluminium garden chair

EME, a chair born from a reflection on the archetype and the evolution of everyday objects.‎ Designed by Mario Martínez, the collection is positioned as a “contemporary version of the traditional chair,” joining the warmth of classic interior forms with the robustness and cleanliness of modern industrial design for the outdoors.‎ EME is the result of an exercise in synthesis where every component has a reason for being, fleeing from ornament to embrace an honest and timeless elegance.‎ For its creator, the challenge of designing a chair lies in its proximity to the user: “Unlike a building, the chair directly confronts the body without intermediaries.‎ It is an object with which we interact for long periods of time, so any error becomes immediately evident.‎” Under this premise, the EME chair has been conceived to integrate into diverse contexts without imposing itself, seeking that emotional connection that Martínez identifies in Danish, Mediterranean, and Japanese design.‎ Thanks to its proportions and a careful selection of materials, EME blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor furniture.‎ It is a stackable and versatile piece, capable of naturally inhabiting both the dining room of a private home and the terraces of contract and hospitality projects.‎ Its design, the result of a cross-pollination of cultures, seeks to connect with the most primitive and emotional part of people through lightness and formal clarity.‎
