The stool Plopp was designed by the Polish designer Oskar Zieta and is on its way to become a design classic. Best proof: Plopp won the famous German Red Dot Design Prize in 2008, its unusual optic results out of its unusual production method.

The design-Newcomer Zieta started to experiment with steel material while studying in Zurich (before he studied architecture in Stettin) and developed his „FiDU-Technology“ (Freie Innendruck Umformung / free interior pressure transformation), in whichh furniture is created and in which the material (two identic, welded together steelings) is filled with air under internal pressure. The steel plates then extend to the thought form.

The stool stands on three legs and has a hole in the middle of the seating plate and in fact it looks like blown up – but Plopp is really strong, because of the resistant steel. Not one stool looks like another by this initiative, because every deformation of the steeling is controllable. So at the end, every customer gets his/her own personal Plopp - a special attraction, which became an exaption in the mass production.

Design: Oskar Zieta

Already during his studies, Oskar Zieta began to experiment with sheet as material and thereby developed his „FiDu-Technolody“ which creates sheet furniture such as his Plopp Stool, being inflated by interior pressure with air or water. Designer Oskar Zieta
