In the words of Urquiola, her meeting with Emu, its h istory and its industrial production situation all sparked an instant flame: "Inspiration came from the marvelous iron chairs of the '50's, so full of curls and doodles. I wanted to create new models which would bring together a re-interpretation of this old-fashioned design with a more humorous twist, produced with numerical control technology". From this idea, the RE-TROUVÉ collection was born: the iron curls enrich and adorn these crafted chairs which are now back in style; by re-disc overing these one-of-a-kind pieces, perhaps long-forgotten in an upstairs attic, Patricia Urquiola conjures up this classic design, re-interpreting it with acute humor. The superior technology of Emu in metal-working allows for the creation of furniture c haracterized by complex patterns of recurrent diamond motifs. Industrial production limits costs and assures high product quantity, while maintaining the handcrafted quality of the furniture. The geometric design gives three-dimensionality to the pieces, whose curved forms outline the furniture with a sweet and sensual feel, characterized by an elegance brought from the past. The retrieval of past memories and its re-working in a modern style brings together, in ideal continuity, Proust's "Time Rega ined," in an imaginary journey back in time which allows us to take a new look at contemporary reality. ![Re Trouve 566 9](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-9.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 7](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-7.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 2](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-2.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-5.jpg) ![Re Trouve 566 6](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-6.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 10](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-10.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 8](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-8.jpg)![Re Trouve 566 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-3.jpg) ![Re-trouvé 566](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_1410x940_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-4.jpg) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.emu.it) All Re-trouvé products - [![Re-trouvé 575](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-575/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-575-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-575) - [![Re-trouvé 578](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-578/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-578-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-578) - [![Re-trouvé 577](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-577/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-577-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-577) - [![Re-trouvé 570](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-570/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-570-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-570) - [![Re-trouvé 569](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-569/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-569-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-569) - [![Re-trouvé 566](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-566/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-566-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-566) - [![Re-trouvé 565](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/e/emu/produkte/re-trouve-565/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/re-trouve-565-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/emu/re-trouve-565) - [All products by Emu @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/emu) - [Emu @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/emu)
