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.
