emu arrives at HD Expo 2026 with a one-two punch of Italian hospitality outdoor furniture. The Saint Martin collection makes its official debut, and the well-loved Nef collection returns with a quiet but consequential upgrade.

Designed by Marco Acerbis, Saint Martin is built around a single repeatable steel base. From there, it branches into two moods. One reads architectural and stripped-back, all clean tubular geometry. The other softens into a wicker weave with a subtle twist motif, drawing its warm palette from hyacinth fiber.

Both versions earn their place on a rooftop terrace, in a boutique pool club, or anywhere outdoor hospitality furniture needs to do real work without losing its composure.

Then there’s Nef, Patrick Norguet’s hot-air-balloon-inspired classic. The original elastic backing has been swapped for a higher-grade synthetic rope. The silhouette stays. The hand feels better. The lifespan grows.

Both collections will be fully staged at Booth 3745 at Mandalay Bay, May 5–7. Worth the walk — and worth a closer look at where outdoor furniture is heading this season.
