"Steel in Rotation" technology opens up a new level of possibilities as far as FiDU technology is concerned. Thanks to a high volumetric expansion ratio and endless scaling, there is the option of having an architectural construction or a small, functional and durable object. For example, FiDU profiles can take different shapes, yet act as one object. The products can take the form of a table, a chair, a sculpture or a huge pavilion, thanks to FiDU's scalability. Ultimately, we end up with an object that is both artistic and beautiful, yet functional and durable, too.

This chair is one of the representatives of the "Steel in Rotation" collection, displaying metal origami that is as light as a feather, with a symmetric form that is a beautiful manifestation of its volumetric expansion. The potential of expansion to create a tangible and solid object is one of the most important parameters in Oskar Zieta's work. It combines bionics, technology, design and innovation, shining a new light on tomorrow's world. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
