Zanat's Sustainability

Sustainability in Every Grain

Every Zanat piece begins with sustainably sourced wood, shaped and finished entirely by hand. Nothing goes to waste. Even small offcuts are transformed into functional accessories, such as the Ombra Side Table, extending the life of each material and honoring the resource from which it came.

Crafted by Hand. Designed for Life.

In a quiet Bosnian workshop, master carvers use a chisel and mallet to create intricate patterns—each stroke unique, each piece impossible to replicate. This time-honored technique, passed down through generations of the Niksic family, is recognized by UNESCO as part of the world’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Crafting a Legacy: From Village Craft to the UNESCO World Heritage List

Over a century ago, Niksic encountered a primitive wood-carving technique and, under the guidance of pioneering artisans, refined it into an exceptional art form. His mastery led him to collaborate with furniture producers, showcasing hand-carved masterpieces at international fairs. It didn’t take long for the world to take notice of the Konjic woodcarvers, whose work was displayed at some of Europe’s most esteemed exhibitions, including the “Hungarian Millennium” in Budapest (1896), the Brussels International Exposition (1897), and the Exposition Universelle in Paris (1900).

The Niksic family’s legacy continued through the generations, expanding into a renowned export business known for its high-quality craftsmanship. In December 2017, the technique that Gano Niksic helped perfect was officially inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, recognizing its cultural significance and unparalleled artistry.

While Zanat has grown and adapted over the years, it remains firmly rooted in its heritage. Today, the company continues to honor its origins by collaborating with contemporary Scandinavian designers, breathing new life into the UNESCO-listed hand-carving tradition.
