The Za collection by Emeco

Emeco Za is a family of round, backless stools designed by Naoto Fukasawa.

Handcrafted from 80% recycled aluminum, the design spans mini and low stools as well as counter and bar heights. Brushed and powder-coated versions can be used indoors or outdoors, while polished aluminum is intended for interiors. Separate pads add merino wool felt or vegetable-tanned leather to the circular seat. Replacement glides provide different fittings for general use and indoor hard floors.
