Creator of some of the most internationally renowned objects in contemporary Swedish design today, grew …
Our vision and passion were soon recognized internationally by people who are now part of the Zanat family, like Scandinavian designers Monica Förster, Harri Koskinen, and renown Swedish architect Gert Wingårdh who accepted an invitation to design for Zanat at the inception stage. Today Zanat is creating opportunities for the entire community, hiring and training young people. We are breathing a completely new life to this UNESCO listed hand-carving technique, preserving and promoting the craft that used to be close to extinction. While collaborating with spectacularly talented designers, we are continually developing and introducing new standards of sustainability and community outreach.
The furniture produced by our grandfather is still preserved as family treasure in some exceptional interiors throughout South Central Europe. Today, Zanat’s furniture is finding favour globally in visionary design stores and in projects designed by leading interior designers and architects of our time.
While the designs and scale of our company have, and will continue to, evolve – our company values will not. We are committed to the satisfaction of our customers, preservation of our heritage and environment. We believe that our customers should feel secure that when selecting an object of outstanding quality from Zanat, they are not only improving their home: they are improving our world.
