The space, an architectural project by designer Andrea Pascucci, covers an area of approximately 1000 square meters in Class A. Its streamlined architecture enhances the simulation of the various rooms, both in the home or for common use, including living, relaxation, veranda and outdoor areas; the reinforced concrete structure makes for a sturdy construction and perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, which already includes the brand factory covering about 100.000 square metres of which 50.000 covered. The lynchpin between the new building and the adjacent office block is cladding part of the facades with expanded metal, a second skin reminding us of a material traditionally used for EMU products.

The purpose of the new Design&Simulation Centre, therefore, is not only to enhance the product, integrating it within indoor & outdoor natural contexts for which it has been designed, but also to provide a visiting card for the company’s sales force, which has the chance to give customers an overview of the final result which is as realistic as possible; a vast, constantly updated exhibition, there, is to embrace collections that are the perfect combination of form, function as well as destination. It inspires complete outdoor furniture solutions suitable for several styles and senses.
last but not least the Centre is aimed at boosting all research and development activities in the current design department, as part of a space where technicians and designers can find inspiration for continuously developing processes and products.

EMU is also focused on the discovery of emerging talents and on working with Universities and Design Centres; the idea is to establish a productive exchange between young minds and a company which has always exported worldwide the Italian culture of outdoor living. This is why, inside the new facility, plans have been made for workstations for interns as well as for research laboratories.
