zieta initially started his work with a curiosity over whether steel could be inflated. through his research work, he began working with FIDU technology, which is a high pressure interior conversion process that allows him to make heavy steel material appear completely light. in the past, zieta has developed chairs, benches and other seating furniture out of steel, which ends up resembling colored balloons.
