TAFLA O is a series of bionic mirrors of organic shapes inspired by natural shapes of liquid drops. Mirrors from the TAFLA collection are made of stainless steel polished to a high gloss and come in seven different sizes. They can be arranged in an artistic personalized composition or exposed on a wall as a single sculpture-like mirror. They will fit contemporary private spaces, as well as restaurants, bars and hotel rooms. You can enjoy the charm of the classic Inox finish or a colour selected from the available palette. The TAFLA O mirror looks mesmerizing as a single object, but also in layouts that make up constellations of them.
TAFLA O mirrors combine unique forms and bionic aesthetics with the high-tech parameters of Inox steel.
Mirrors designed by Zieta Studio are not just objects that reflect reality and adorn the interior, amplifying it optically. Such objects as TAFLA O are tridimensional designer mirrors worthy of the best contemporary living spaces. They are destined to be composed into fantastic wall decorations—it’s up to you what kind of installation you create on the wall. While a single TAFLA mirror makes a statement in the interior, multiple TAFLA mirrors in various sizes and shapes add even more style.
Refractions and reflections on mirrored metal surfaces
On the polished surface of the TAFLA mirrors, all steel refractions are perfectly visible—the artistic effect of the “controlled loss of control” process of shaping their form. Each convexity visible on this wall mirror’s surface is unique, because steel never deforms in exactly the same way.
Zieta Mirrors 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.
The objects that constitute the ZIETA universe function not only as independent works of art, but take on a stellar dimension when arranged together in larger sets. Bounded by common gravity and revolving along mutual orbits, they can create astonishing compositions. The closeness between the elements enlivens the steel surfaces with luminous interactions that multiply reflections and refract lights. They have been codified, dimensioned and laid out on standard walls to facilitate the choice of the best composition for your interior.
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.
