Zanat is a brand with a rich history spanning more than a century. The company was originally founded by Gano Nikšić in the late 1800s in Konjic, a small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Gano learned a unique woodcarving technique from local craftsmen in Konjic—an art that was refined over time and became part of the family's heritage. By the late 1800s, the technique had gained international recognition, with works exhibited in Budapest, Brussels, Vienna, and Paris.
This technique, which has been refined and passed down through four generations, has become part of the family's legacy and a symbol of Zanat's identity. In 2017, Konjic's woodcarving technique was inscribed on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, thanks to the family's efforts to preserve this craft.
The name Zanat means "craft" in Bosnian, and it is through craftsmanship that they realize their vision of universal sustainability—each product is a unique work of art, created using traditional hand-carving techniques directly on the wood surface.
At the core of Zanat is the union of traditional craftsmanship with modern design. This is why they collaborate with international designers, including Nordic designers such as Monica Förster, Harri Koskinen, and Gert Wingårdh. The result is collections that reflect the company's vision of merging tradition with modern innovation.
Zanat strives not only to create beautiful and functional furniture but also to contribute to a better future by creating jobs. In a world where automation threatens many professions, Zanat shows how craftsmanship and modern design can work together to create sustainable solutions.
The story of Zanat is a tale of craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation. Despite years of war and major political changes, the company has managed to preserve its unique technique. Every product is a part of Bosnia's cultural heritage, and thanks to the strong grounding in craft tradition, Zanat has become a unique brand on the global design scene.

The summer table setting is more than just a place to eat - it's a place where memories are made and laughter echoes under the blue sky. It is a celebration of the bright, long days and balmy evenings, and a reminder that it is in the company of loved ones that we find the true beauty and joy of the magic of summer.

Cooking on the grill in the summer is a pleasure that few things can surpass. Imagine a warm evening by the Mediterranean, where the scent of freshly grilled fish, marinated lamb chops, and fresh vegetables fills the air.
