Naoto Fukasawa envisioned a stool that would give people “a happy mood when sitting.” The simple, joyful Za can inhabit any setting - a timeless classic to be used, cherished, kept, and passed down for generations, much like its forefather, the original 1006 Navy chair. The name means “a place to sit” in Japanese. “Za comes from the soul of Emeco - made for lifetimes of use, with a minimum carbon footprint. Its distinctive “Emeconess” makes it feel like a member of the original Emeco family from the 1940’s.” – Gregg Buchbinder, Emeco Owner
