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 subtle engraving on the TAFLA O mirror is a linear interpretation of James Jean's jamesjeanart painting. Contained within the oval silhouette of Zięta’s oskarzieta mirror, the illustration's thin lines correspond with the mirror’s irregular shape and its shiny surface.
The NUCLEUS inox is an artistic installation and tribute to the bionic world of living organisms. At zieta_studio, we have moved the natural properties to the world of art, creating an installation consisting of multiple reflective elements. NUCLEUS, made of ten triangular inflated forms, reflects the RONDO mirror in dark matter finish.
TAFLA O4 photographed in the Polish mountains with a beautiful rust shade. Its polished surface in dark matter finish reflects with its surface surrounding landscape, blending perfectly with it. A unique combination of art, design and nature closed in an unprecedented view.

Talent, technology, ecology and high level of design all included in the lightest chair in the world - ULTRALEGGERA!
In 1957, Italian designer Gio Ponti created the Superleggera chair weighing only 1700 grams. In 2019, Oskar Zięta oskarzieta also took up the featherweight challenge. He introduced to the market a chair that is even lighter (1660 g) and at the same time stable and modern.
