The Zanat Ten product collection

The Zanat Ten product collection

On the occasion of Zanat’s 10th anniversary, we invited our design partners to create a collection of small objects that celebrate the meeting of craft, heritage, and contemporary design.

The result is a collection of 12 unique objects, each reflecting the creative language of its author while carrying the imprint of Zanat’s hand-carving tradition—recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage.

Designers Yves Behar, Ilse Crawford, Monica Förster, Naoto Fukasawa, Sebastian Herkner, Harri Koskinen, Michele De Lucchi, Jean-Marie Massaud, Jasna Mujkić, Patrick Norguet, Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, and Wingårdhs have each contributed to this anniversary collection.

These works are not just functional objects; they are tokens of a decade-long journey in which Zanat has established itself as an international design brand rooted in the cultural fabric of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Together, they embody Zanat’s vision for the next decade, where the preservation of tradition and the pursuit of innovation remain inseparable.

KIKA, bowl
Jean-Marie Massaud

“To engage in dialogue with Zanat is to reconnect with a certain idea of the essential—the rare and precious one of gesture, of time, of the right intention. Together, we shape objects that go beyond their function. They carry a fertile story: the one written between man, the hand, and the material. Kika bowl is a small example of the stories we tell together.”

MOAI, bookend
Patrick Norguet

“To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Zanat brand, I imagined this mysterious yet functional object. Perhaps an ethnic sculpture? A trophy from a vanished tribe? None of the above. I chose to design an object related to books, a bookend showcasing the craftsmanship of the park. Assembled and disassembled, the combination of two forms, which together form a totem, and when separated, perform their function. The combination of wood and stone: an earthly and symbolic force.”

GRANA, salt and pepper shakers
Naoto Fukasawa

“Pass me the salt! Zanat’s woodcarving adds essential flavor, tactile warmth, and beauty to life, just as a pinch of salt transforms food into something delicious. Holding and touching the carved salt and pepper shakers brings an extra taste to everyday life.”

RICCIO, sculpture & bookend
Palomba Serafini associati

“Riccio (Italian for hedgehog) — is a tactile wooden sculpture whose softly rounded form and finely hand-carved grooves evoke the quiet strength, charm, rhythm, and organic geometry of nature.”

SATURN, bowl
Wingårdhs

“A bowl. And a ball. A game of equilibrium.”

MIRNA, tray
Harri Koskinen

“With wood in hand, skill guides the chisel—where idea meets touch, execution reveals quality and meaning.”

MERAK, ice bucket and small table
Studioilse

“A home for a bottle, to keep it cool and ready to go.”

STAMBOL, sculptural container
Yves Béhar

“The small containers are abstract forms that look like mysterious living organisms.
The sculpted textures of the caps and linear stem carvings explore the Zanat woodcarving
tradition in ways that enhance the organic forms and material. These ‘wood creatures’ are
meant to be fantasy companions in our everyday life.”
