Southern France was set to welcome an exceptional selection of Zieta objects. From iconic technological and sustainable manifestos like the Plopp stool and Ultraleggera, to the latest pieces unveiled at Salone del Mobile Milano 2025, this presentation offered a journey through Zieta Studio’s most compelling creations. The experience was further heightened by breathtaking sculptural works, including Crystals, formerly exhibited in the Sculpture Park 2023 in the DIFC district in Dubai.
This extraordinary encounter with collectible objects transgressed the boundary between art and technology, reflecting Oskar Zięta’s research into the physical properties of metal. Their uneven surfaces, marked by artistic deformations, challenge our perception, drawing us into the hypnotic reflections of their mirrored surfaces. Optically captivating, they embody a cutting-edge process of metal deformation through internal pressure—the FiDU™ technology. These are sculpture objects, manifesto objects, objects for generations.
Oskar Zięta’s interdisciplinary pursuits seamlessly merge design, art, engineering, and bionics. Inspired by constructivism, Zięta once questioned what a world of bionic metal structures might look like when harnessing the potential of new technologies. Today, Wired magazine hails his creations as “furniture of the future.” His design and artistic achievements have garnered numerous prestigious accolades, and his works are housed in museums worldwide, including the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
The “New Metal Meanings” exhibition at SAS Ambiance Design Studio took place from 19 to 30 May 2025. A private opening for a select group of distinguished guests was graced by the presence of the artist himself, Oskar Zięta, who dove into the waters of interpretations of metal meanings.
