Playing with lightness

ULTRALEGGERA is a manifesto chair. Its final form and properties, implied by monomateriality, are like a lens concentrating complex issues from the fields of ecology, technology and economics.

When Cassina began producing the Superleggera chair designed by Gio Ponti in 1957, experiments with strength and lightness of structure belonged primarily to the world of architecture. In their projects, such creators as Buckminster Fuller and Jean Prouvé raised the idea of the primacy of construction quality over form. In 2019, Oskar Zięta decided to face the challenge of lightness again in the design of a functional product. The result of his research is Ultraleggera, a chair that amazes with its featherweight and attracts with its charm

The world’s lightest chair

ULTRALEGGERA is a manifesto chair. Its final form and properties, implied by monomateriality, are like a lens concentrating complex issues from the fields of ecology, technology and economics. The chair designed by Oskar Zięta is built on an ultra-lightweight, durable frame made with the innovative FiDU technology, with a laser-cut seat plus backrest. All made of one material—the highest-quality aluminium. The whole construction is characterized by exceptional lightness—it weighs a little over 1660 g.

Ultraleggera Raw Aluminium

Ultraleggera awarded for its lightness

ULTRALEGGERA won the Must Have 2020 Award, as well as the MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award 2020 Best of Award in the Product Category. The chair has also won the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021. The chair was recognized for its monomaterial features that make it an eco-friendly product of the future: the world’s lightest chair, with a timeless minimalist form. ULTRALEGGERA was featured in the Dezeen Showroom.

Sustainable monomaterial thinking

The combination of a huge dose of imagination with the original FiDU technology resulted in a project that is not only surprisingly light but above all forms an innovative response to the challenges of the modern world. It owes its low weight to the fact that it is made of only one material, aluminium. ULTRALEGGERA thus follows the philosophy of Monomaterial Thinking and is fully recyclable. At the same time, it meets the premises of the Circular Economy. Made of 100% aluminium, complete recovery of the aluminium is achieved thanks to the use of a single raw material alloy in the entire product. The frame, seat and backrest made of aluminium are joined with aluminium joints without any additional materials and without covering it with additional finishing layers.

Minimalist form – surprising qualities

The ULTRALEGGERA chair is a mono-object, an essence of contemporary, innovative design that focuses not only on the form and function but also on the object’s future. It is a piece of furniture that was created both from the need to face the material itself and from the desire to emphasise its unique aesthetic and functional properties. This minimalist seating’s structure was designed to give an impression of a standard solution. However, when the user comes into direct contact with the product, the chair surprises with its lightness and stability. Equally, the lightness is a metaphor of its eco-friendly, recyclable aspects that make it part of the trend for sustainability and care for the environment.

Moreover, it is ultra-durable. Tests performed by Zieta Studio proved it can endure a load of a stunning 1208 kg.

Universal design

Above all, ULTRALEGGERA is a stylish and timeless piece of furniture, a contemporary metal chair of a minimalist shape. Thanks to its lightness and durability, it is a product suited to both private and public spaces, such as healthcare institutions and office spaces. Last but not least, its universal form fits spaces in every style, from classical apartments to industrial lofts.

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.

Ultraleggera Family

The Ultraleggera family is a great representative of Monomaterial Thinking. Manufactured in aluminium, it is durable, fully recyclable, and ultralight. When all of those features are combined with functionality, we get the Ultraleggera family, with each of its members functioning as a certain definition of the object of the future. They manifest Zieta Studio’s values and the principles of the Circular Economy.

The ULTRALEGGERA ROUND TABLE is a continuation of the ultralightness narrative. Its regular size perfectly fits six ULTRALEGGERA chairs. The solution provided by the table is an attractive design expression, but a unique functionality as well. The lightweight feature makes the table ultra-easy to move. It provides for easy and long-lasting use of the object.
