Zami Smart Stool is the result of years of research on ergonomics and is designed to improve posture and promote active sitting. Made from the highest quality European sourced materials, this patented, double-convex form is the first sensor-enabled stool that gives you real-time feedback on your posture. The stool communicates to the Zami mobile app and collects data providing intelligent feedback and insight into your posture and daily sitting habits. Unlike most ergonomic solutions, Zami provides a sense of luxury and simplicity and looks great in any home or work interior.
Why We Created the Zami Stools
Zami Smart – The Best Solution for Active Sitting
After an initial short setup to determine your weight and other vital metrics, pressure sensors in each of the four legs determine your weight distribution and accurately determine your posture. This information is transmitted via Bluetooth to the Zami mobile app, which gives you immediate feedback about how to correct your posture.
Utilizing the sensors, the mobile app also provides you information about your sitting, including:
- The time spent sitting (active and passive)
- Quality of sitting (posture)
- Behavior during sitting (restless sitting or fidgeting, potential pressure point issues, etc.)

The Zami App – Connected to Zami Smart
You will receive immediate feedback from the app if you are not sitting right, not taking appropriate breaks or are sitting too long. The app also comes with suggested exercises and general healthy lifestyle suggestions. The long-term goal is to integrate Zami Life products with various other health and fitness options to give a complete picture of your health and lifestyle, providing an integrated experience.
The Zami app will track your sitting history, allowing you to get an overview about your sitting. This information can be presented to your physician when you need to do a post-facto analysis or plan for sitting and posture improvement that can be monitored along the way.

Aluminum
A fresh and contemporary artistic design. One piece of aluminum is laser cut and rolled to create the 3D shape. Its unique form creates a sense of depth in any room. The aluminum Zami can be appreciated in its original form by simply removing the leather cushion to reveal the details of the thin slits which make the bending of the metal possible.
