Belgian manufacturer Metalfire designs and produces high-quality open and closed fireplaces. Unlike other brands, Metalfire’s collections are primarily designed with aesthetics in mind. All of our 100+ unique appliances combine high-end technical features with sleek designs. Our motivation to blend in with the architecture and interior of the home as a whole is what ends up separating us from the crowd.

It isn’t illogical then that ever since our founding in 2003, Metalfire has caught the eye of and worked with multiple renowned architects and industry professionals. And we will continue to do so because our ‘no limits’ attitude allows for broad possibilities in custom work, finishing frames and extensions. Consequently, our fireplaces can bear the architect’s or interior designer’s personal signature, making them finely in tune with the design of their entire realization. 100% Belgian craftsmanship Metalfire is firmly rooted in Belgian soil, where the fireplaces are manufactured by hand in our Evergem workshop. Craftsmanship is the fundamental value for Metalfire: every day our vision of architectural fireplaces is translated into reality by the skilled hands of our craftsmen.

Tayga Studio is Alexander and Ekaterina Chubar. The emergence of the studio in 2013. We design and create collections of lamps and other items for residential interiors. Our subjects are based on the search for new forms, materials, functions and meanings. We use different materials and techniques to create our objects. And this list is constantly growing. At the moment, we are actively developing 3 areas: Ceramics, recycled paper and polymers. And in each direction, we implement many models that allow us to solve various interior tasks. I would like to note that we often use manual labor in production. This gives uniqueness and warmth. But we are no strangers to progress and are actively looking towards modern technologies. The solutions we have found in the production technology and work with the form give uniqueness to our objects. We pay special attention to the shape of the object; there is a certain feature that is characteristic exclusively of our objects: all the lines of the form tend to the classical ideal (to the ideal sphere, cone, cylinder). It's like a little kid who decided to sculpt the perfect jug and is happy with his work. In all our objects there are delicate flaws and small imperfections, which give them a special charm. They want to be considered. We like that they create a dialogue not only in the interior but also with a person. Approaches to creating objects vary from subject to subject. Something is born in the head, something in the experimental process. The rolling stone gathers no moss. It's the same design - you need to be in the flow. We make available 3D models of our objects. And our talented friends shoot videos that reveal their character. We often receive requests from interior designers; we try to help them solve problems and at the same time create unique items.

Oskar Zięta is an artist fascinated with the formal properties of metals, which he transforms into sculptures that play with the senses, often intimidate with their scale and cross the border between what is possible and what is only imagined. He uses his original method of metal forming in his works, which gives him endless possibilities of manipulating the material while not depriving it of authenticity and craftsmanship naturality.

Zięta creates both sculptures based on mathematical precision, as well as organic objects that question Euclidean geometry. His projects are the result of a close relationship between man and the material, a practice already exercised by his father Jan and grandfather Bolesław. While they forged steel with the help of their own hands and heavy tools, Oskar Zięta in his work uses more sophisticated machining methods. He is a 4.0 blacksmith who carves with data, which he materializes in the form of sculptures – that give the impression of being subtly shaped by natural forces. They contain the truth about the material from which they are made – Zięta deforms and stabilizes metal with internal pressure on the basis of meticulously collected information about it. How will it behave under the influence of a certain force? How will a polished surface reflect its surroundings? How will the context influence the reception of a given form? These are the questions that Zięta faces during the creative process based on the idea of ​​a controlled loss of control. At the same time, he leaves the material a considerable margin of freedom, thanks to which he enters into a dialogue with it both in the virtual and real-world – transforming bits into atoms and these again into bit representations. Thanks to this cooperation with the material, his objects are characterized by a dose of precisely planned poetics. Born in 1975, Oskar Zięta is an architect, artist and process designer and the CEO of Zieta Studio. He holds a doctorate from the Eidgenössische

Deco Line took part in the next edition of the well-known Dachny Otvet program.
It was the country house of a wonderful couple. Yulia Zhmyrko was the designer of the project. The house had a high ceiling, up to five meters. The designer chose different shades of white for the interior design to make the space larger and more spacious and the peaceful atmosphere lighter and airier. Just above the entrance, a large space was left, which was designed in such a way that the interior took on an additional accent. As a result, the designer chose a gypsum bas-relief from Deco Line. The model B-41 with large and beautiful leaves is called Jungle. Just above the entrance, a large space was left, which was designed in such a way that the interior took on an additional accent. As a result, the designer chose a gypsum bas-relief from Deco Line. The model B-41 with large and beautiful leaves is called Jungle. In general, the interior in such light colors with all the amenities and natural materials resembles a luxury hotel. And the impressive space, right above the entrance, is adorned with a handmade gypsum panel by Deco Line, the surface of which is painted in the color of the walls, bringing the bas-relief to a common denominator. According to designer Yulia Zhmyrko: “The bas-relief looks cool and eye-catchy.”

Zieta Studio was established in 2010 by Oskar Zięta. It was also the year when he introduced his first object to the market. It was the PLOPP stool that had already been awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2008, the German Design Council Award 2008 and the Forum AID Award 2009.

The history of the company begins earlier though. From 2003 Oskar Zieta worked as a research associate and a teaching assistant as the chair of CAAD at the ETH in Zurich where he wrote his doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt. The main focus of his thesis was the input of computer-controlled machines in the processing of metal sheets in architecture and design.

During his research at the ETH, Zieta developed different methods of enhancing the efficiency of technology for steel design, architecture and construction. The main topic was the use of steel sheets as a construction element – cheap, easy to shape and efficient. The problem with steel sheets is stability – the work was focused on how to reach the desired stability of steel sheets to be able to use them as construction elements. Many different technologies were developed – among others, FIDU technology.
During the first years of operating Zieta Collection was gradually created – it included furniture and accessories designed by Oskar to the date: the standard, mini and kitchen PLOPP (2006- 2009), Chippensteel 0.5 (2009), Chippensteel 1.0 limited edition (2006), RONDO mirror (2009), PIN and KAMM hangers (2009), RONDEL (2009).

Later on, other collections followed: Copper, Heat, Gradient and Transitions Collections.

Productivity is based on several factors, one of which is the environment, the general atmosphere, and the design of the workplace. It is possible to create an atmosphere that makes the staff do their best and enjoy the working process. Office design enhances or dampens the company culture and improves productivity while keeping everyone comfortable. Of course, the design of the offices differs from field to field and considerations. The best way to design the office is to reflect the company's values through the design concept and make the workplace functional.
By following the trends in interior design, we have several ideas of how to design your office room interior.
Let’s go! Go for eco-friendly materials! Keeping everything eco-friendly and natural is one of the most popular trends in interior design you should follow. There are various ways to do that in the office interior. First, you can use wood furniture and comfortable armchairs or sofas to create a work-friendly space. Second, as eco-friendliness is a priority, then, in this case, choose gypsum 3D wall panels. They create accent walls and can be painted in any color. If you are keen on wooden materials, then you can choose Printography. The same eco-friendly gypsum wall panels with protective layers, the textures of which elevate the room. The outer part of a layer can imitate wood material and match wooden furniture. Third, add plants to the office interior. As a result, the office feels accessible and promotes productivity creating a happier atmosphere for the working process. Go for power! When setting up your office, it would be a great idea to reflect the idol management system by adding personality to the office room. There are plenty of ways to go with this and design a dedicated workspace. However, a decorative gypsum bas-relief would be the most impressive one. It may be a bas-relief portrait of a historical person, a celebrity, a politician, a businessman, or whoever motivates you. People are more competent when they feel a connection of the soul with the

The choice of wall decoration for a kitchen where we do some cooking and have our meals should be based not only on visual appeal but on the functional characteristics of the finish. Modern wall panels for the kitchen are one of the most successful cladding options, which harmoniously combine aesthetic beauty and impeccable functionality.

Advantages of gypsum wall panels

Gypsum 3D panels combine all the advantages of high-quality interior decor. Made in various designs, they radically transform the living space and easily mask minor construction defects, hide the wires running along the walls and make the home environment more well-maintained. Let’s list the main benefits of gypsum wall panels: Environmental stability - the composition of the mineral includes only harmless components that do not cause allergies and do not emit toxic substances into the atmosphere. Fire safety - gypsum coating doesn’t burn or melt, tolerates high temperatures well, and in case of fire, prevents it from spreading. Additional soundproofing - gypsum absorbs sound waves, thereby protecting from street hubbub or overly expressive neighbors. Easy installation - most often, wall-mounted modules are produced in a large format, which, combined with low weight, highly facilitates their installation. Do not forget that gypsum is a natural material that allows air to pass through. Accordingly, it ensures normal thermoregulation and an optimal microclimate without the “greenhouse effect.” Is it possible to place wall panels in the kitchen? At first glance, a relief wall may seem very laborious to maintain, especially in the kitchen. High humidity, splashes of fat, and odors accompanying cooking processes may harm the lining appearance and quickly make it unusable. To prevent this from

We launched the project "Mechanics of Light" in 2015 in St. Petersburg, organizing our own production of lamps in the style of parametric design from environmentally friendly top quality birch plywood.

Our production is a unique opportunity to embody the ideas of Scandinavian eco-style in your project, both on the basis of models from our collection and according to your own sketches. Any color, any size, and even any shape according to a sketch - all this can be done quickly, efficiently, under the control of our experienced technologists. And for designers, we have a unique offer: create and send us your models of lamps in the style of parametric design from plywood, and if it is a worthy model, we will make it and distribute it to our showrooms, and you will receive royalties (royalties) from each lamp sold by us! Just like in Europe!

From the moment the idea of the Mechanics of Light project was born, it has been a project for the manufacture of a product that embodies the desire to realize production with quality and culture that is not inferior to European standards.

The production of the project "Mechanics of Light" was opened in 2015 in St. Petersburg, in the old historical district of Kolpino, and the projects implemented over the years allow us to assert that we know all the nuances of the technology for the production of lamps from natural plywood.

In our video, we betray a brief excursion to our production.

We are representing the Printography collection and its benefits produced by Deco Line company.
And so, printography is 3D wall panels covered with a protective shell - an innovative approach of designers to expand the range of panel choices. About the benefits of printography 1.Aesthetics. Thanks to the finishing texture, the print looks very elegant and beautiful. The shell provides an attractive look - metal, wood, or leather - that attracts everyone's attention. Note also that the texture of the outer layer can be either glossy or matte. And with the help of correctly constructed light, the interior has brightness and liveliness. 2.Moisture resistance. It should be noted that the outer casing adheres tightly to the panel, not allowing moisture to pass through. Moisture resistance is the main advantage of printing, which allows you to safely use the product in damp areas or places with high humidity, such as a kitchen or bathroom.
