Oskar Zieta – Plopp Stool – 5 available – Poland – 2005

This Oskar Zieta Plopp stool combines a playful inflated shape with a sculptural steel construction. Oskar Zięta developed the design using FiDU, a process that turns welded metal sheets into three-dimensional objects. The listing identifies this design with 2005 and Poland. Its rounded seat and three legs give it an instantly recognisable silhouette.

Oskar Zieta Plopp stool and FiDU technology

FiDU stands for Free Inner Pressure Deformation. To make the form, two thin steel sheets are welded around their edges. High-pressure air then expands the sealed shape. As a result, the metal develops the rounded contours that make Plopp look inflated. Although its outline seems soft, the stool is a rigid metal object.

This combination of shape and material gives the design its appeal. For example, it introduces an unexpected detail beside a traditional wooden table. In addition, the reflective surface can create a contrast with textiles, natural wood and matt finishes. The three-legged form also has a compact footprint, making it easy to position within a room.
