Concept
The Zeta stool, designed by architect Mario Botta, recalls the letter from which it takes its name: two square elements, serving as
base and seat, are joined by a diagonal element secured by a comb joint at each end. Two diagonal leaves merge with this element,
helping to strengthen its structure and giving the design a dynamic and rigorous balance. The result is an object with a strong
graphic impact and a distinctive design, an expression of the formal research of Botta, focused on the relationship between
horizontal and oblique lines.
