Emu Como Coffee Table: Jean-Marie Massaud’s steel “classic, made current”
A small table with a clear point of view
The Como Coffee Table sits in that quiet middle ground between garden furniture and living-room staple. It reads as “simple” at first glance, but the piece is more about proportion and composure than decoration. In Emu’s catalog, it functions as the low anchor for a seating group—indoors or out—where the table’s job is to disappear until you need it.
Emu’s metalworking DNA
Founded in Umbria in 1951, Emu is built around industrial metal expertise—then translated into furniture that’s meant to live outdoors without looking “technical.” The brand frames its work as a blend of research, production know-how, and an Italian culture of open-air hospitality.

Como: the classic line, reinterpreted
Emu describes Como as a collection defined by “evocative power,” taking a classic line and giving it a contemporary look through careful attention to practical proportions. The coffee table is part of a broader family (from dining to lounge) designed to blend naturally into varied settings. Como coffee table (Emu)
Jean-Marie Massaud’s restraint in use
Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, the table reflects his broader interest in essential, experience-led objects—where comfort and clarity matter as much as silhouette. In Como, that shows up as a calm geometry and an unforced presence beside seating, rather than a centerpiece that competes with the room. Designer credit Massaud profile Product page
An installation story, in Matt White
A customer report notes delivery completed on November 24, 2025, with the table specified in Matt White. The experience reads like Como’s design intent: straightforward to place, easy to pair, and visually light without feeling delicate.
Where it fits best
Como works in the kinds of spaces that value continuity: a balcony arranged like a small café, a poolside lounge that borrows indoor styling cues, or a living room that wants an outdoor-capable occasional table. It’s most convincing when paired with seating that shares its quiet discipline—metal, woven, or upholstered—so the table can do what it’s designed to do: support the scene, not direct it.
