Kioko Game Box

by Jean-Marie Massaud
Zanat / Products / Kioko Game Box

The objects we treasure, regardless of their size, should represent genuine quality of design, materials and craftsmanship, the kind of quality where every little detail matters and has been through and executed by extraordinarily skilled and meticulous craftsman. On the outside, the appeal of Kioko boxes is found in their proportions and the imprint of fine craftsmanship, including an exquisite hand-carved texture, perfect joints and a seamless fit between the box’s cover and base. As it should be with a proper treasure box, Kioko boxes are equally exquisite on the inside. Different designs of interior fittings determine the purpose of a box and the initial set of fittings is limited to the following: two suede leather padded jewelry trays for a jewelry box, playing cards and dice tray for a game box, stationary compartments for a large writing box. The small and tall box is a perfect hiding place for treasured writing pens and pencils.

All wood used in Zanat’s products comes from sustainably managed forests or private fruit orchards (walnut and cherry). FSC certificates for forest-originating wood are available upon request. Moreover, in 2021 Zanat undertook a commitment to plant three new trees for every tree we used to produce our products.

Color variations and small healthy knots in wood are indications of material authenticity and cannot be considered a defect. Wood is a hygroscopic material which absorbs and sheds moisture to adopt to the humidity of the environment in which it is placed and it expands or shrinks as a consequence. To minimize checking and cracking, all Zanat products should be kept indoors (outdoors use is OK if protected from precipitation and direct sunlight) and air humidity should not be less than 40% or more than 70%. Humidity outside this range is not optimal for human health and can result in product damage.

“For me design is about seeing the context, discovering the stakes, be they cultural, ecological, economic…, and finding a simple solution that makes a creative synthesis of the stakes.”
