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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The objects undergo a technologically advanced heating process. Computer controlled furnaces are programmed to create certain conditions. The effect of heating process is a durable coloring fnish on the surface, revealing the natural, hidden beauty of the metal. All of this without using any paints and reagents.
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.

The NAWA public sculpture located in the heart of Wrocław attracts many prominent personas. We are proud that Dominic @iamdominicdangelica from the @topmodelpolskatvn gave it a try. We know that our favorite contestant is going to smash the show, good luck tonight!🏆
If you happen to be in Budapest, don’t miss the chance to see Zieta’s selected objects: Chippensteel chair, PLOPP stools and RONDO mirror at the @kiscellimuzeum in Budapest. They are part of the @dwbbudapest exhibition that will be open till November 15th.
The curators, Szilvia Szigeti and Tamás Radnóti, aimed to demonstrate the wide array of possibilities in interpreting the design. By broadening the concept, they lay emphasis on creative approach and innovation that is based on constant inspiration, dialogue between different social, professional and generation groups.
The convexity of Zieta Studio's mirrored objects often creates a non-obvious view of common objects. Thanks, @marro_warsaw for capturing this great shot.
We're looking for more reflections on the reality from other owners of our mirrors! Tag #iFIDUyou!
Nature symbolizes a constant changeability and harmony that comes out of it. The CRYSTALS series is a collection of objects inspired by the shape of a diamond, extracting the bionic geometry from the mineral. Thanks to the mirrored surface, the person looking inside the object will experience an immerse journey into the world of wonders and illusions, as if using a kaleidoscope.
