On stage: the Plopp hero form in mirror polished inflated steel, live in 3D. Drag it to spin.

Act I · Stream
Stream.
Every Artefice show opens on a single object, lit like a stage and streamed as it is made. The audience does not watch a product video. They watch fabrication happen, live, with the maker in the room.
The hero on this stage is the Plopp form: a stool that starts as flat sheet steel and becomes furniture under air pressure. It is here as a reference form, a study in what a fabrication story looks like when it can hold a whole first screen on its own.
Act II · Shape
Shape.
Keep scrolling. On the plinth, the stool has gone back to what it was before it was furniture: two flat sheets of steel, welded around their edges.
Your scroll is the air line. As this section moves, pressure builds inside the welded sheets and the form swells: seat first, then the legs bulge out and find their stance. No mould, no press. The pressure finds the form, which is why every inflated piece bulges a little differently and no two are exactly alike.
When the inflation completes, the piece settles back onto its turntable, finished.
Act III · Craft
Craft.
Craft is the fabrication story, and inflated steel tells it in one silhouette. The method is called FiDU: two thin steel sheets, welded at the edges, then inflated under pressure into a three dimensional object that holds serious weight from almost no material.
This is the Artefice wager: the making is the show, and the finished object keeps the provenance of the process that formed it. What stands on the plinth below is the record of that process, kept with the piece.
Now on stage
Plopp-Form Stool
Inflated steel · FiDU forming
Two sheets of steel, welded at the edges and inflated with air like a balloon. No mould and no press: the pressure finds the form, so every stool bulges a little differently and no two are exactly alike.
This plate stays with the stage. Each Artefice event puts its own object on this same plinth, with its own fabrication story and provenance recorded here, so the stage grows by events without ever being redesigned.
ProvenanceHero reference form for the Artefice stage, shown to carry the inflated steel fabrication story. It is a study after Oskar Zieta's Plopp and the FiDU process, not an Artefice edition offered for sale. Artefice's own first furniture piece will take this place on the plinth.
The Invite
Craft Together
Artefice opens by invitation. Shows are staged with fabricators first, then paired with streamers, product designers, brands and studios. Leave your name and email to be considered for the first season.
In this mock the form stops here, on the page, exactly as the real invite page will feel: flat, fast, and done in one screen. Your place in the first season's list is held under your email.
