HE Concept Store, May, 13 – June, 12, 2021
Oskar Zięta presents his latest works at the HE Concept Store and in the hotel’s passage. Modern, minimalist and often formally experimental vases will form part of the hotel’s elegant interiors.
Shiny steel reflecting the surrounding space, juxtaposed with multicolored plants, is a metaphor for the coexistence of technology and nature in Zięta’s work. Flourishing and growth, concepts associated with nature can also be applied to the steel processing methods used by this versatile designer and artist in his work.
The exhibition is open from Monday to Saturday, 11 am – 7 pm.

Karava Vases
Karava is a steel vase of a trapezoidal form framing an oval opening. It is a delicate and subtle vessel reminiscent of floral twigs – and at the same time characterized by stability and durability. The organic oval cut-out in its center gives it an intriguing lightness and brings to mind the sculptures of Henry Moore.

Arcova Vases
The Arcova double vase with a U-shaped cutout is reminiscent of the form of an inverted arch. It is available with asymmetrical arms and with arms of equal height. It is the perfect vessel for tall and slender plant twigs.

Crash Vases
Crash vases are related to the Parovas’ forms – also made of steel, which becomes a minimalist vessel in the process of forming with compressed air. Crash vase, however, is additionally deconstructed so that it gains characteristic undulations in its lower part. Thanks to this, each such form becomes a unique sculpture.

Rotation Vase
The Rotation vase was created as a result of Oskar Zięta’s experiments with the Steel in Rotation form. It is a vessel whose cross-section resembles the six petals of the inflorescence. Simple yet expressive.

Parova Vases
Parova vases make up the perfect trio: placed next to each other, they are like a sculptural group, and flowers of different heights placed in them look like they were raised on ancient columns.

Triglav Candelabrum
Triglav is a steel three-armed candlestick whose form resembles the architectural arch and columns. Steel, juxtaposed with burning candles, emits unexpected reflections and fills the interior with a warm glow. It is available in two sizes: table (height 41 cm, Φ 19 cm) and floor version (height 83 cm, Φ 40 cm).
