Zagreb Design Week

Artisan se temelji na tradiciji majstorskog obrtništva u kojem vješti zanatlije već sedamdeset godina oblikuju puno drvo u bezvremenski namještaj s autentičnošću i preciznošću. Svaki komad utjelovljuje duboko poštovanje prema prirodi, ljepoti organskih materijala i trajnoj vrijednosti ručno izrađenog dizajna. Filozofija Artisana počiva na uvjerenju da namještaj treba biti više od funkcionalnog predmeta, on treba pričati priču. U suradnji s vizionarskim dizajnerima istražuju nove forme, a istovremeno njeguju integritet tradicionalnih stolarskih tehnika. Taj spoj inovacije i baštine rezultira namještajem koji je estetski profinjen, a ujedno stvoren da traje generacijama. — Artisan is built on a tradition of master craftsmanship, where skilled artisans have spent seventy years shaping solid wood into timeless furniture with authenticity and precision. Each piece embodies a deep respect for nature, the beauty of organic materials, and the enduring value of handcrafted design. The philosophy of Artisan is rooted in the belief that furniture should be more than functional, it should tell a story. Collaborating with visionary designers, they explore new forms while preserving the integrity of traditional woodworking techniques. This fusion of innovation and heritage results in furniture that is aesthetically refined and created to last for generations. @artisanlovewood #zgdw #zgw2025 #artisanlovewood #furnituredesign #woodfurniture

A world premiere: chair Knap. Nunc proudly unveiled the Knap chair to the public for the first time, designed by the renowned Neisako studio. The Knap chair was born from the idea of measure and balance—that precise moment when everything was perfectly poised and harmonious. Through this project, Neisako once again demonstrated its signature design language: the simplicity of refined lines, clarity of concept, and a lightness that made the design timeless. The brand’s creative direction was shaped by artistic director Nikola Radeljković, whose experience and vision gave Nunc a unique identity. His artistic direction bridged tradition and modernity, ensuring that every piece of furniture carried a clear aesthetic and conceptual value. The presentation of the Knap chair at ZGDW was another significant step forward for Nunc—an opportunity to show how local production and design could be relevant on the international stage, allowing the audience to recognise the quality emerging from Slavonia and Croatia. — Svjetska premijera stolca Knap Nunc je s ponosom predstavio prvi put javnosti stolac Knap, dizajna renomiranog studija Neisako. Stolac Knap nastao je iz ideje mjere i ravnoteže, trenutka kada je sve taman i skladno. Neisako je kroz ovaj projekt još jednom pokazao svoj prepoznatljiv dizajnerski rukopis: jednostavnost pročišćenih linija, jasnoću koncepta i lakoću koja dizajn čini bezvremenskim. Kreativni smjer brenda oblikuje umjetnički direktor Nikola Radeljković, čije iskustvo i vizija daju Nuncu jedinstveni identitet. Njegova umjetnička direkcija povezuje tradiciju i suvremenost, osiguravajući da svaki novi komad namještaja nosi jasnu estetsku i konceptualnu vrijednost. Predstavljanje stolca Knap na ZGDW-u još je jedan važan iskorak za Nunc – prilika da pokaže kako lokalna proizvodnja i dizajn mogu biti relevantni na međunarodnoj sceni, a publika prepoznati ono što dolazi iz Slavonije i Hrvatske. @nunc.design #zgdw #zgw2025 #nuncdesign #neisako #furnituredesign

By redefining upholstery, Sixinch strive to push the boundaries of furniture design and functionality, creating extraordinary products that inspire and transform any space.

Secondly, based on the design a client provides, Sixinch can produce individual design projects without any minimum order requirements. — Misija tvrtke Sixinch kreativna je sloboda u dizajniranju prostora sutrašnjice.

Postoje dva načina suradnje. Prvi je odabir iz kataloga, gdje klijent može prilagoditi bilo koji proizvod promjenom dimenzija ili odabirom željene boje. Drugi način je izrada prema dizajnu klijenta, što omogućava realizaciju individualnih projekata bez ograničenja minimalne narudžbe. @sixinchadria #zgdw #zgw2025 #sixinch #foamcoating #foamcoatedfurniture

A world premiere: Serbian luxury furniture crafted from ancient river oak. The Miena collection is dedicated to river oak — wood preserved for thousands of years and extracted from the Sava riverbed. Its dark colour and dense structure are the result of a millennia-long reaction between the tannins in the wood and the iron present in the water. Through sanding, polishing, and oiling, the rich texture and depth of the material are revealed. In collaboration with Swiss designer Stefanie Girsberger, we introduced a base made from a material of the same origin — the soil in which the wood had ‘rested’ for centuries, transformed into glossy ceramic through high-temperature firing. This creates a strong contrast between the smooth, lustrous surface of the ceramic and the rustic character of the ancient oak. Each Miena piece is unique — an authentic fusion of time, nature, and craftsmanship. — Svjetska premijera srpskog brenda namještaja od riječnog hrasta starog više tisuća godina. Kolekcija Miena posvećena je riječnom hrastu — tisućama godina konzerviranom drvu izvađenom iz korita Save. Njegova tamna boja i čvrsta struktura rezultat su tisućljetnog djelovanja tanina iz drva i željeza iz vode. Brušenjem, poliranjem i uljenjem otkrivaju se bogata tekstura i dubina materijala. U suradnji sa švicarskom dizajnericom Stefanie Girsberger, kao baza dodan je materijal istog porijekla — zemlja u kojoj je drvo stoljećima „počivalo“, pretočena u sjajnu keramiku dobivenu pečenjem. Tako nastaje snažan kontrast glatke, blistave površine keramike i rustikalnosti starog hrasta. Svaki Miena komad namještaja je jedinstven — autentičan spoj vremena, prirode i zanatske obrade. @edition_miena #zgdw #zgw2025 #miena #furnituredesign #furniture

The world premiere of a Croatian brand of modular metal office furniture. A newly founded Croatian brand, designed and produced locally that makes its vision to produce functional parts of everyday life, reimagined with purpose and a spark of joy. After 30 years of experience in metalwork working on projects for other, the idea was to turn that knowledge inward, create pieces that speak the language of engineering but whisper with personality. The mission is clear: to fixate on everyday elements with the intent of reimagining their functionality and appeal - making something interesting out of what no one expects to be. A bracket, a handle, a connector, things overlooked, until they’re not. The ordinary deserves attention and imagination. — Svjetska premijera hrvatskog brenda modularnog uredskog namještaja od metala. Novoosnovani hrvatski brend koji se bazira na domaćem dizajnu i proizvodnji te viziji da svakidašnji funkcionalni elementi trebaju biti dizajnirani. Nakon 30 godina iskustva kroz rad na projektima od metala za druge, stvorila se ideja za pokretanjem vlastitog - osmišljavanje tehnički visoko razrađenih elemenata s karakterom. Misija brenda je jasna - promišljati svakodnevne predmete s ciljem stvaranja nečeg zanimljivog iz detalja od kojih se to ne očekuje. Okov, prihvat ili spoj, često skriveni i zanemareni elementi dizajnom postaju središte koje određuje identitet cijelog proizvoda. @from_elementi #zgdw #zgw2025 #elementi #officefurniture #metalfurniture

Instalacija na temu Zagreb Design Weeka 2025. Novi koncept festivala s fokusom na različite lokacije i raznovrsne programe odraz je ovogodišnje teme — „Stvarnosti koje dijelimo“.

Ines Vlahović’s latest project centres on her favourite material—seagrass. At Bačvice Beach, a well-known tourist destination in Croatia, large amounts of seagrass wash ashore each year. The local environmental association Picigin Bačvice regularly cleans the beach to maintain outdoor activities, including picigin, an indigenous ball game played in the sea. A range of products made from dried seagrass forms part of the interior of the nearby Café Voga, with a share of the proceeds donated to the association that collects the seagrass. The project aims to reveal the value of seagrass as a rich natural material and to involve local residents in activities that increase the use of this resource, benefiting both people and the environment. @ines.vlah_
