The PLOPP stool is an original, iconic object made in FiDU. It is a flagship of Zieta Studio and a symbol of Oskar Zięta’s research into the properties and possibilities of metal. The “Polish Air-Pumped Folk Object” proves how the artistic aspects of the design can be summarized in highly advanced engineering forms. Winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2008, the German Design Council Award 2008, and the Forum AID Award 2009. PLOPP is a manifesto of the FiDU technology and the “controlled loss of control” process. Two ultra-thin steel sheets are welded together around their edges and inflated under high pressure, deforming a 2.5D flat form into a 3D object.
Plopp 100 – Limited Edition
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Zieta Studio and 20 years since the first prototype of the Plopp stool, we have prepared a limited edition of 100 inox objects featuring a commemorative engraving, honouring both jubilees and the appearance of our icon on official stamps of the Polish Post’s Polish Design series.

Values manifesto
Thanks to this unique technique of metal forming, Oskar Zięta’s PLOPP is light and durable. It meets the premises of sustainable development and production in three fundamental dimensions. First, it’s monomaterial, and therefore complies with the monomaterial thinking in its broad recyclable potential.

Plopp stool made from inflated steel could be 100% recycled, with a slight loss of material quality. Secondly, it is durable and long-lasting - meaning, can serve for generations keeping consumption on a responsible level, and investing in goods won't vanish so quickly. In the end ultralightness - or so-called lightweight index optimization which is considered as literal lightweights - PLOPP is empty inside. And lightness manifested in the virtual dimension. FiDU technology allows creation in steel, copper or aluminum.
Designing flat objects that take a 3D form only in the tactile world brilliantly reduces data consumption. PLOPP’s standard 2.5D model consumes 16 kB of memory, while an identical design developed in a 3D model would need as much as 142 GB. This is what we calls a less-is-less approach, thus maximizing the material potential for design, daily functionality, reduced transportation costs, and even the conquest of space.

Illustrated interpretations of metal
Zieta Illustrated is a testament to the power of interdisciplinarity in art and a tribute to Polish illustrators. In early 2023, Oskar Zięta invited artists from across Poland to interpret his metal objects through their illustrative lens.

We love copper, which is the result of combining the forces of nature and manpower. It is not only a luxury, but according to Zieta, it’s magic. Copper, reflecting the environment around and emanating a unique aura of warmth and generosity, becomes a part of it.
