Zieta  Studio's History

Zieta Studio's History

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.

Wall panels for the kitchen: unaffordable luxury or perfect finishing?

Wall panels for the kitchen: unaffordable luxury or perfect finishing?

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

Lorusso - Factory of upholstered furniture in Russia

Lorusso - Factory of upholstered furniture in Russia

Lorusso is a factory producing upholstered furniture. The idea of creating the Furniture Atelier "Lorusso Divani" arose from studying the local market upholstered furniture of Russia.

The main goal they set at the stage of founding the factory was the production of designer upholstered furniture according to the highest European quality standards while being affordable for the Russian buyer.

To create and organize a professional furniture production, in 2011, Italian technologists and designers were invited to Magnitogorsk. They participated in creating the factory's technological project helped debug the production process and quality control. As a result, this made it possible to create a stunning designer collection of stylish and high-quality sofas and quickly bring production to a high level, creating a distribution network covering more than three dozen cities in Russia. Today the factory continues to develop independently while carefully preserving the technology and culture of production. However, the Italian influence can be seen in the classic line from Lorusso Divani and the modern collection of the premium brand.

Design Line: a big breakthrough for designers

Design Line: a big breakthrough for designers

It is human nature to create something of their own, something unusual, beyond reality but existing in fantasy.
And Design Line is the unusual collection of those creations.

Let us dig deeper into the Design Line project of Deco Line company to discover more about the challenging project.

The mission of the Design Line project is to create new connections with designers and architects and bring to life their newly discovered and creative ideas. With this in mind, Deco Line company embodies the author's unique sketches into reality. Obviously, the authors of the models are designers and architects. And maybe only for this reason, the 3D panels included in Design Line have unrepeatable designs.

Whenever communicating with designers or architects, the company members are under the impression that deep inside designers and architects crave something new, creative, exclusive, and bespoke because they have their ideas. As Deco Line highly appreciates everything innovative, the company came up with the solution of fulfilling the ideas of designers and architects in any way. And here is how the idea of the Design Line project was born. When we say the project, we mean a sort of cooperation between a designer or an architect and Deco Line company.

Design Line is a big breakthrough for designers. The authors give names to their models, which later appear in Deco Line’s catalog. Not only does it give worldwide recognition to the designer but also money: as the designer receives the sale of the model. In other words, the Design Line project allows the designers to represent and why not, sell their model and the company to have a unique collection, and always remain in trend!
Win-Win, right? So why not tell about the first but surely not the last success in Design Line? It refers to the first model in this series that was sold! The author of the model is the chief designer of Futuris Architects design studio, Ofelia Vardanyan. She was one of the first designers, much inspired by the idea of having her models in the series. As a result, she has created several models. The first success is all about D-03, a model consisting of tropical leaves but still looking firm and straight like geographical forms. Ofelia says it was a feeling of satisfaction and inspiration when someone from a different corner of the world liked and ordered the model she had created. In general, the feeling inspires designers to go on designing new models. Here is what the director at Imageman Architecture & Interior, Mikayel Karsayn, has done. Up to now, he has already created almost 30 unrepeatable and creative models and named them not less creatively: Dragon Scale, Symphony, Dilong, Arcada, Python, and so on. Below are represented some of the models created by him.

How Hokspet succeeded

How Hokspet succeeded

Hokspet is a Russian brand producing holders for toilet paper. Pavel Chekhovskiy is the creator of this unique product.

The idea to make holders was born when Pavel first saw such a holder on his trip to Norway. He could not buy it anywhere, the holder was not sold in stores, but it sunk into his soul so deep that he decided to make it himself. Despite the seeming simplicity, it turned out to be extremely difficult to make such holders. Typically, carpentry supplies are not designed for logs of this section because the furniture they make consists of thinner parts. However, after a month of work and a fair amount of carpentry equipment bought in vain, Pavel finally managed to make the first holder. It cost him a lot of effort and a huge amount of damaged wood. As a result, Hokspet turned out to be perfect - reliable, ecologically friendly, convenient and stunning. The top is convenient to use to put a mobile phone on it, which usually has nowhere to go in the toilet. Pavel’s first clients were his friends who really liked Hokspet. Then Hokspet became more and more popular. When the website and Instagram profile were available, Pavel got a message from an interior designer who wanted to use Hokspet in his bathroom design. This is why he did a 3D model of Hokspet and uploaded it at Zeel Project, where he got an opportunity to increase awareness among designers. "After I presented Hokspet in 3D at Zeel Project, I got a number of requests from designers and their clients, who also fell in love with Hokspet at first glance," Pavel said and continued: "I want to say
