Slenderness of form
TAFLA IQ is a rectangular apotheosis of geometric simplicity and respect for proportions. The steel surface of the mirror/sculpture intriguingly reflects light. The closer to the centre, the more predictable the reflections are, and the closer to the edge, the less obvious their dimensions become.
Its slender shape complements spatial concepts, vertically, horizontally, or as a multi-element set. The tall and narrow shape allows installation of TAFLA IQ in the most demanding interiors and arrangements, creating a marvellous way of filling space.
Geometric narrative
This 3-metre-tall object definitely plays a dominant role in the interior, acting like a modern obelisk. TAFLA IQ is an expansion of the thread begun by TAFLA Q. They both unravel the narrative about proportions and simplicity and the phenomenon of the FiDU manufacturing process. This method of free deformation of metal allows the inspiring cooperation of humans, technology, and material. A spectacular result of this volumetric expansion is one of the TAFLA collection members, blown in metal by Zieta Studio.
Zieta Mirrors
Zieta Studio objects transgress the border between art and technology. They reflect Oskar Zięta’s research on the physical qualities of steel. The uneven surfaces with artistic deformations provoke our eyes, forcing us to look at reality from a different perspective. Optically subtle, they encompass a cutting-edge technique of treating metal in which sustainability plays a key role. They are sculpture-like mirrors and mirror-like sculptures. Collectible objects made to last for generations.
Tafla Family
TAFLA metal mirrors come in numerous shapes and sizes: from large round mirrors to geometric smaller sculptural forms. TAFLA O, TAFLA C and TAFLA Q are artistic variations of the same concept of creating a decorative sculptural mirror out of inflated steel using the FiDU technology. Some of them are characterized by a minimalist simplicity and respect for proportions, while some are distinguished by a soft line of organic form. There is such a diversity that arranging them together is reminiscent of storytelling. Will it be a story of water drops or pieces of shattered glass immortalized on the wall? It is a question of space and imagination.

Tafla mirrors are a series of common geometric forms with a sophisticated twist. Their bionic shapes were inspired by drops of water, piles of stones, pieces of wood and shards of rock. They can be arranged in multiple sets that give another dimension to an interior and create a unique story on the wall.
Zieta Studio’s “free deformation” process of creation results in Tafla’s extravagant elegance, which emphasizes the true nature of metal. The aim was to facilitate a geometric irregularity that exudes calm.

Aurum Collection
The Aurum Collection is the outcome of Zieta’s experiment with lacquered steel. The polished Inox surface is coated with a semi-transparent lacquer, which covers the object and at the same time uncovers its natural beauty.
