Innovation and craftsmanship
The exhibition Through Process to Progress offers an immersive exploration of Zieta Studio’s creative process, highlighting its unwavering commitment to sustainable design. Our ethos is rooted in the belief that true progress in design emerges from a deep understanding of material and process. The exhibition invites visitors to journey through Zieta Studio’s innovative approaches, where traditional craftsmanship meets cutting-edge technology to redefine the possibilities of metal. At the core of this exploration is FiDU, an advanced metal-inflating technology pioneered by Oskar Zięta, which transforms flat steel sheets into intricate, three-dimensional forms. These forms are not just art objects. They are functional, lightweight, and sustainably produced, embodying our philosophy of creating with minimum waste and maximum impact.
Forms of progress
The exhibition showcases a series of Zieta Studio’s most iconic works, each a testament to the studio’s dedication to sustainability. From the sculptural Plopp stool to the dynamic Rondo and Tafla bionic mirrors, a series of home accessories as well as experimental sculptures, these objects illustrate how sustainability is seamlessly integrated into the design process. The objects demonstrate how Zieta Studio achieves sustainability not just through the choice of materials but also through innovative production techniques that reduce waste, optimize energy use, and extend the life cycle of each product.
Common ground in sustainability
In its carefully curated installations, Through Process to Progress emphasizes the importance of sustainability in contemporary design. The exhibition highlights the values shared between Zieta Studio and the Loop Generation store, a space known for its commitment to circular economy principles and promotion of eco-conscious design. Visitors will discover how Zieta Studio’s work aligns with these principles, offering a vision of the future where design is both beautiful and responsible. The behind-the-scenes insights let viewers into the studio’s design process and offer a unique opportunity to engage with the “less is less” philosophy that drives us. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how the studio’s innovative use of materials and processes contributes to a more sustainable future, demonstrating that progress in design is not just about aesthetics, but about creating lasting, positive change.
Courage for change
Through Process to Progress is more than an exhibition. It is a call to action for designers and consumers alike to find common ground in sustainability. It is an invitation to explore how thoughtful design processes can lead to meaningful progress in addressing some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.

LDF reminiscence
Zieta Studio’s presence during the London Design Festival 2024 evokes memories of the first large-scale manifesto of the potential of FiDU profiles. In 2010, with support from the Polish Cultural Institute, Oskar Zięta created the installation Blow & Roll in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s John Madejski Garden. The aim of the project was to create something visually engaging and suited to the garden’s scale and style. The challenging part was to deliver it in one piece, like all the other pieces in the museum’s exhibition. The FiDU technology made it possible to create a sculpture that was expanded on the site. The pieces were transported and brought to the garden flat and rolled. The individual steel elements were wheeled flat into the pond, then inflated, giving a third dimension to this unique space. →
