ZETA Collection
Mario Botta, 2025
The Zeta stool 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.
Made of mass-coloured MDF, the stool is offered in both a monochrome version and in a polychrome version, echoing the use of natural materials and the contrast between light and shadow typical of the poetics of Botta.
AboutZETA
The exclusive MB edition features two yellow leaves on the polychromatic version. This detail further enhances the interplay of colours and the compositional dynamics of the stool, highlighting the fusion of geometric rigour and material experimentation. Strongly influenced by the principles of Neoplasticism of Gerrit Rietveld, Zeta embodies a strict geometric logic that articulates the interplay between shape, function, and construction into an essential and recognisable graphic sign. An ideal architectural furnishing piece, in which the precision of construction and the interplay between horizontal and oblique lines express the essence of the design approach of Mario Botta.
"Zeta tells a story full of memory. It is a tribute to Gerrit Rietveld, translated into an object crafted with the sensitivity of our times." — Mario Botta
