BOLID
Longboard Sculpture

BOLID, designed by Oskar Zieta and available at Zieta Studio, is a unique mirrored object and a sculpture: a decorative version of the streamlined longboard’s form, an alternative “mean of transport” in the contemporary urban landscape that will fit a modern interior: whether a minimalist apartment or an extravagant loft. It will take you straight to the border between art and design.
BOLID was created from polished steel using FiDU – originally for the Pirelli flagship store in Milan. The mirror in the shape of a longboard aimed to meet Pirelli´s expectations of an inspirational product made in highly innovative technology. It accompanied and completed the display incarnating Pirelli’s approach to design.

A LONGBOARD,
A MIRROR, A SCULPTURE

The FiDU BOLID board is an aesthetic object, an artistic variation of the shape known widely by skaters. Its functional form serves as a point of departure for a purely decorative objective – hang it on or lean it by the wall and discover the reflective power of polished steel.

The minimalistic and pure form makes it a perfect fit for the home of a skating fan or for any modern elegant ambience.

The dynamic shape of a wooden board, adjusted to the laws of aerodynamics, has been translated by Zieta Studio to steel, a material widely explored by Oskar Zieta in his cutting-edge collection of mirrors, chairs and tables.

It turns out the longboard’s strong shape inflated in steel gains a gentle, organic aspect. Thus, the oval of the sculpture-mirror resembles a living organism, a stem cell in the macroscale.
