Thermal coloring* is a rare, forgotten technique, used by Oskar Zieta for coloring steel. Deep and intriguing color is obtained through the use of high temperature, extracting the surprising beauty of metal without the use of chemical dyes and reagents.
Hidden beauty of metal
Steel revolutionized the modern world, built its foundation and shaped it in the way we know. It is used in constructions, automotive and almost every branch of industry. It has many unusual properties, but not all are so well known and obvious.
Developing the technology
The new face of steel was presented by Oskar Zieta. Using natural properties of various types of steel, through research led to development of technology that uses high temperature to colorize steel surfaces. Many years of experiments allowed to master the process of achieving specific colors and define them. It is a unique approach to a process, extracting not only its authentic form but also its authentic color*.
Thermocolorized furniture
Thermal coloring* is used for The Heat collection, created by Oskar Zieta, based on FiDU technology – inflating flat, steel forms with compressed air and changing them into stable, durable three-dimensional objects with intriguing shapes.
Sculpted with air
Characteristic bends and folds at the edges of forms are the showcase of technology and are called “controlled loss of control”. The artist develops the form, but leaves a certain freedom for the material to deform in the optimal way. In this way, unique and characteristic features of FiDU objects are created, making each object one of a kind.
Colors born in flames
Different coloring effects can be obtained depending on the type of steel used*. Stainless steel objects so characteristic for Zieta gain a coat of deep, warm, sunny shade of “Flamed Gold” without losing the mirror-like depth. Applicating the process to a special type of carbon steel causes discoloration into intense deep shade of dark blue, shimmering with colorful nuances and resembling the cosmos, called “Cosmic Blue”. That was also the genesis of the name of the first table in such a finish – G-Table Cosmos, topped with a black granite tabletop.
*Thermal coloring alters the physical structure of metal, no matter if it is carbon or stainless steel. In the natural process similar to oxidizing copper, stainless steel may be subject to visual changes on the surface. This shall be considered as a natural maturing of the material. Like the process of inflating metal with air provides unique, unrepeatable shapes, oxidizing paints the surface with individual patterns. Cherish the radical customization!
