ULTRALEGGERA is a minimalist light metal chair. Thanks to its exceptional qualities it is the chair of the future. Designed in 2019 by Oskar Zięta, it was conceived with maximum functionality in mind, as a response to Gio Ponti’s iconic Superleggara chair from 1957.
ULTRALEGGERA is thus a manifesto chair. Its final form and properties, implied by monomateriality, are like a lens concentrating complex issues from the fields of ecology, technology and economics.
As the name indicates, ULTRALEGGERA is an ultra-light seating – its RAW version weighs only 1660 g.
Moreover, it is ultra-durable – tests performed by Zieta Studio proved it can endure a load of the stunning 1208 kg.
Above all, ULTRALEGGERA is a stylish and timeless piece of furniture, a contemporary metal chair of a minimalist shape. Thanks to its lightness and durability it is a product applicable both to private and public spaces, such as, for instance, health-care institutions and office spaces.
Last but not least, its universal form makes it fit spaces in every style: from classical apartments to industrial lofts.
ULTRALEGGERA is currently the world’s lightest metal chair and the only fully recyclable seating available on the market. The “monomateriality” that implies recyclability is the characteristic that makes it an eco-friendly object.
Therefore, this light metal chair that responds to the current challenges of the modern world.
ULTRALEGGERA metal chair is built on an ultra-lightweight, resilient frame made with innovative FiDU technology (Freie Innen Druck Umformung), with a laser-cut seat and a backrest. Most importantly, it is entirely made of one material – the highest quality aluminium.
The complete recovery of the aluminium is achieved thanks to the use of a single raw material alloy in the entire product. The frame, seat and backrest made of aluminium are joined with aluminium joints without any additional materials and without covering it with additional finishing layers.
ULTRALEGGERA was awarded the Must Have 2020 Award , as well as the MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award 2020 Best of Award in the Product Category. The chair has been also awarded the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021.
The chair was awarded for its monomaterial features that make it an eco-friendly product of the future: the world’s lightest chair with a timeless minimalist form.
Available versions of the chair:
ULTRALEGGERA Anodic Black
ULTRALEGGERA Anodic Natura
ULTRALEGGERA White Matt
Chairs, seatings and stools created by Zieta Studio are an effect of constant experimentation with the qualities of steel and its possible metamorphosis using FiDU technology.
Zieta chairs are both functional and formally groundbreaking. They bring unusual aesthetics to the world of design, breaking the established rules and limits of creativity.
The classic example is the iconic, sculpture-like PLOPP stool – the object that inaugurated the collection of Zieta chairs. It incarnates the main idea behind all chairs and seatings designed by Oskar Zięta. PLOPP stool is a mixture of artistry with the innovative technology that results in the creation of advanced, unique and up-to-date products.
Such chairs as Chippensteel, J-Chair and ULTRALEGGERA serve not only as seatings but above all they manifest the formal possibilities of metals that at Zieta Studio are transformed into artistic furniture.
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.

CHIPPENSTEEL 0.5 chair has a truly fiery temperament, delivering a stunning visual experience enhanced by the colourful distortion of light reflecting from the golden, heated coating. It was made using thermal colorization, which brings out the hidden colors of steel.
