Unna Chair

by Monica Förster

Zanat / Gift shop / Unna Chair

The designer’s aim was a stackable and sturdy chair with strikingly soft, minimalistic, yet humanistic expression sculpted entirely in solid wood. Unna, as noted by the jury of the Swedish Golden Chair Award, is an extraordinarily comfortable wooden chair, featuring a finely curved seat and backrest, made from solid wood sections. The chair can be individualized by applying Zanat’s exquisite carving techniques. The designer has come up with a modernist interpretation of traditional Konjic woodcarving, preserving, however, the original technique and tools. The carvings on black or wenge stained chairs can also be stained or unstained to reveal the light wood color. For better comfort, an optional magnetically attached cushion in leather can be added. Unna Chair is the winner of the Interior Innovation Award 2015 presented by the German Design Council and the Golden Chair Award by the Swedish Architects Association.

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.
