Gazzada Fawn Side Table
FAWN SIDE TABLE
FAWN | SIDE TABLE | NIGHTSTAND
Our tiny multi-talent
Where does a side table actually belong? Depends on where you need it. If you’re chilling on the sofa, she’s happy to hold your drink or lunch.
Reading one more chapter before lights out? Fawn is right at home next to your bed. Best of all, she’s so light, you can move her around whenever the mood strikes you.
She’s got Gazzda’s signature solid-oak frame, a hand-tied rope shelf, and a transparent glass top. Don’t just put her anywhere. Put her everywhere.
INFORMATION
MATERIAL - FRAME - SOLID OAK
Solid oak has been used throughout the ages for just about everything. From Viking ships to your very own Gazzda product. It’s dense, hard and strong. The high tannin content keeps most insects and fungi away. And, let’s get real: it looks stunning. We believe that such a noble material deserves to breathe and retain its natural state. That’s why we have treated your product with a plant-based Hardwax oil. It is made of carefully selected natural waxes and vegetable oils that penetrate the oak’s pores and nourish it from the inside out. By maintaining your oak product with a fresh, Hardwax oil treatment from time to time, you’ll rejuvenate, strengthen and harden its natural properties again and again. That will ensure the oak preserves its authentic beauty and can last for generations.

MATERIALS - PLATE: TEMPERED GLASS
Meet Petrol and Grey. Despite their ‘temper’, we promise they're great to live with. Tempered glass is about four times stronger than ‘normal’ glass, and it does not shatter into jagged shards when broken. Instead, it fractures into (relatively) harmless, small chunks. So, no worries: Petrol and Grey can take a bump. But there’s more to tempered glass than just its built-in safety feature. This quality glass is stunning to look at, tough and resilient in daily use and of course - transparent. Want more? If one day you decide to dispose of your glass plate, it can be recycled and reused in the production of new glass materials.
MATERIAL HAND-TIED ROPE: ELASTIC COTTON ROPE
Mother N. is beautiful when she’s in balance. That’s why we’ve taken two natural materials and woven them together to bring out the best of both. For every six fibres of strong, beautiful natural cotton, there are four fibres of stretchy, long-lasting natural rubber. Together, they create rope that stands the test of time, yet comforts with a smooth touch. The consistent weave of our cotton rope is beautiful all on its own. So we don’t use any dyes or finishing layers that might detract from the raw colour or natural feel. You’ll enjoy the fresh look and subtle texture of this rope for a long time. But if you do ever decide to let it go, it’s completely biodegradable and can return to Mother N. How’s that for balance?
DESIGNER
DESIGNER SALIH TESKEREDZIC
When Salih walks into a room, his energy is infectious. He puts passion and emotion into every design, and aims to create products that people truly love. The design studio is Salih’s playground, and his pencil is his favourite toy.
He spent 18 years in Austria, and speaks perfect German. So when Salih gets a design just right, it’s common to hear him loudly expressing his joy in German. We don’t always understand what he’s saying, but we’re clear on how he feels.
Salih is the reason we use natural materials in all our Gazzda products. He shares his passion for wood with all of us, and has helped us appreciate that magical moment when we touch a finely crafted, smooth piece of polished wood. But Salih doesn’t just share his passion with us. He’s been teaching industrial design to promising youngsters since 2004. Among his students, Salih’s near-obsession with wood is so well known, they affectionately call him ‘Geppetto’. Someday, one of Salih’s creations will likely turn into a real boy.
When he’s not creating beautiful designs in our prototype studio, you’re most likely to find Salih spending time with his family, or drinking his beloved Bosnian coffee in a café in downtown Sarajevo. Just like Salih and his creations, the coffee is all-natural.
