Plopp Standard stool steel raw painted

The PLOPP stool is a characteristic design object from Zieta Studio and exemplifies the innovative connection of design and technology. Developed by Oskar Zięta, the stool is based on FiDU technology, where two ultra-thin metal sheets are welded together and then inflated under high pressure. This process transforms a flat 2.5D structure into a three-dimensional object, enabling a unique form with minimal material usage. PLOPP has received multiple international awards. In addition to its iconic aesthetics, the stool impresses with its sustainability, durability, and lightness. It is suitable both as a functional seat and as a design element in modern interiors.

Zieta Studio is a design studio that shapes metal in an innovative way. Using its proprietary FiDU technology, the team "inflates" flat metal parts, creating lightweight, stable, and unique objects. Art, technology, and material research are closely intertwined in this process. The studio emphasizes sustainable work, uses durable metals, and produces many of its objects from a single material. This results in furniture and sculptures that are modern, characterful, and functional all at once.
