Zieta Illustriert

G-Table Foto: Karol Banach

We believe that illustrations have a soul. They contain interwoven and multidimensional stories about lines, colours, and emotions.


At Zieta Studio, on a daily basis we combine disciplines—art, design, engineering, and technology. In this interdisciplinarity, we are strongly committed to promote the quality and greatness of Polish creators around the world. Therefore, we initiated the Zieta Illustrated project, whose goal is to support young artists, combine disciplines, and tell stories together.

We like challenges and we like to connect. 


We invited illustrators to collaborate who, like us, share a passion for giving a new dimension to curves. Our objects deformed in steel have been subjected to individual interpretations. And their multi-threaded dimensions are framed in stories about the power of images.

A pre-launch showing of the project was held at the Renoma shopping centre in Wrocław, where Katarzyna Bogucka aka Nioska translated the story of the architectural J-CHAIR into her own oval lines.

While working on the project, we fondly recalled the Usiądź po polsku (Sit down in Polish) initiative, which was part of a project implemented during the celebrations of the European Capital of Culture 2016 in Wrocław. At that time, Oskar Zięta created the informal IDP group (Initiative of Lower Silesian Designers) to design the interior of the Barbara Bar, giving it the function of an educational centre, exhibition and training space, and ECC office, and creating a showcase of Polish design.

The IDP group included the typographer Marian Misiak, who had previously collaborated creatively with Zięta. This collaboration was a prelude to the current scale of the Zieta Illustrated project. In 2014, Misiak created illustrations for a publication about the 3+ furniture system. Marian Misiak co-created the FiDU Alphabet with Oskar (a deformed steel version of Zięty’s letters) and the Maria1 font based on their shape.

We enjoy cross-sector collaborations. Interesting fusions of skills are found in projects such as the TAFLA O Nectar and BOLID—objects on which the world-famous illustrator James Jean engraved his works.

Another interesting allusion to illustrated stories is the ULTRALEGGERA animation about the world’s lightest chair.

May the project's fruits be a testament to the potential of Polish creators and a source of inspiration for further exploration of art, emotions, and colours.
