Igman dining chair is soft and lightweight chair that combines a solid wood frame and a removable soft seat & backrest upholstered in either vegetable-tanned 2.2mm thick saddle leather or a choice of fabrics. The design seamlessly integrates Bosnian and Finish craftsmanship and woodworking traditions into a modern object with minimalist appearance. The chair comes in a version without armrest and with armrests. The refined hand-carved details on the flat-cut surfaces of the armrests and the back beam add to the chair’s character and tactility.

NATURAL LEATHER AND HOW IT AGES
Natural or uncoated leather is made of skin hides (most often cow hides) through the so called tanning process. During the tanning process, hides are treated with natural tannins and starts out as a light cream color similar to the color of light human skin. The more the leather is exposed to direct sunlight the darker it gets, similar to human skin. Natural leather will, among other things, absorb oils from human skin. This relationship between the material and the owner is what makes the aging process of the raw leather so unique. The older the natural skin gets the more character it will have and the more beautiful it will look for most people. Perfectly even and refined looking surface is not a characteristic of natural leather and this natural look is exactly what Igman chair designer Harri Koskinen was looking for.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF NATURAL LEATHER Water and other substances are absorbed by natural leather and may leave stains. Stains caused by water are less visible on an already aged leather. If these stains are a concern, one should avoid wetting of surfaces made in natural leather. When some water is spiller, to minimize staining, one should use a slightly damp cloth to wipe out the area where the water was spilled and the wider surface should also be wiped in this way. In general, this is how natural leather should be cleaned.

Tested and certified for use in public spaces in accordance with BAS EN 16 139: 2014 standard.
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.
All Zanat products can be cleaned with soft dry or damp cotton or other soft cloth. For repairs and reoiling of oil-finished products, please consult our Care & Maintenance manual. Oil-finished dining tables come with a free care & maintenance kit. The kits can also be purchased from Zanat.
Zanat provides a five-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in standard products (materials and workmanship). Wear, tear and product damages is not covered under this warranty. The claims will not cover minor checks in wood, which result from relative humidity changes. Cracks in wood that result as a consequence of air humidity outside the above-indicated safe range, discolorations resulting from direct exposure of products to sunlight or otherwise improper use will not be covered under the warranty. Claims from end users must be submitted to the dealer from whom the product was purchased in order to be considered.
NOTE: This is not our formal warranty document. Please request our valid warranty document for further details on Zanat’s warranty policy and claim handling.
