The chair is one of the leading symbols of design. This will certainly be confirmed by creators who face the challenge of designing a stable seat. Manifesting his many years of research into the properties of metal in the form of PLOPP (Polish People’s Object Pumped with Air), Oskar Zięta conquered the world design scene with his debut at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2007. To this day, thanks the proprietary method of forming steel with internal pressure (FiDU), we create sensory-provoking object/sculptures. The shapes of the objects only suggest their functions. When we’re not sitting on ULTRALEGGERA, the object is a mirror of weight index optimization. When we’re not resting on PLOPP, the object is a symbol of the first research in optimization of production technology. Thus, the J-CHAIR and CHIPPENSTEEL facilities lead through non-obvious meanders of craftsmanship, art and architecture.

Our advanced exploration of ultralightness encompasses conceptual, procedural, and production levels. It involves a constant reduction of the actual weight of objects, minimizing the consumption of material and energy, as well as the virtual space needed for data storage. It is a detailed narrative about the idea of “less is less”—using less, desiring less, and consuming less. During the meeting in Milan, we divided the sustainable narrative into three zones of exploration. The zone of sculptural monomaterial technological manifestos by FiDU. The ultralight zone, presenting the ULTRALEGGERA family through completed objects and their individual components. And the light zone, where the ecological narrative focuses on reducing production components, as well as their disassembly and exchange capabilities. All this embodies the essence of the circular economy, as our monomaterial objects can be fully recycled. The objects are durable, hence long-lasting, so only a conscious decision to recycle them can fulfill their circular mission.

The Milan meetings will bring into the light the decorative accents from the constantly expanding collection of Zieta Vases. Also, the new objects from consoles category that honor aesthetics, functionality and everyday habits will be presented. During Salone del.Mobile 2024, we will pop out with the HUBA bionic console and G-Table's parametric sister, the G-Console.
