The Z Stool by François Arnal was created in 1970, it is made of folded smoked polymethylmethacrylate. This material, more commonly known as Plexiglas, allows the creation of lines of great fluidity while maintaining sufficient rigidity to serve as a seat.

Following its acquisition in 1994, a version of this stool is now on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris).
