MU FLOATING SHELF
MU FLOATING SHELF
Designed by Mustafa Cohadzic
Oftentimes we find ourselves searching for that one, missing element that will enrich our home, simultaneously fulfilling a wide spectrum of our needs; timeless in design, multi-purposeful, space-saving and elegant.
With this in mind, Gazzda designed Mu Shelves. Elegantly minimal, and made from solid wood, the floating shelves add personality, adapting to both traditional and contemporary styles.
The semi-elliptical shape provides an organic visual expression by which the shelves appear to be effortlessly floating in mid-air, providing a clean, airy and uncluttered look for your room.
DESIGNER
MUSTAFA COHADZIC
Mustafa has furniture design in his DNA: he comes from a family of artisans, and his father handcrafted furniture. As a teenager, he was already designing and constructing his own pieces in the family workshop.
Mustafa has evolved into a devoted product designer, and designed his first piece for Gazzda in 2016. For Mustafa, the magic words in furniture design are functionality, aesthetic, and simplicity.
Around Gazzda, Mustafa is always ready to share a laugh. We know him as the man of 1,000 talents – from product design to music to photography to art direction. Want his opinion? He’ll give it to you, direct and unfiltered. Even his communication is about simplicity.
When he’s not cloning his design DNA in the Gazzda workshop, you’ll find Mustafa relaxing in nature or enjoying the quiet life in his home town Fojnica, together with his family.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Stains : For small stains use a "Natural soap" cleaning agent appropriate for wood cleaning. Wipe dry immediately after use.
- Stubborn stains and scratches : Don’t worry if the stains and scratches look bad, you can remove them by sanding the stain down and reapplying a new coat of oil.
- Daily : Wipe with a clean, dry, cotton cloth. If needed, use a damp cloth, but wipe dry immediately. Any moisture that is left on wood for a long time can cause the wood to dry out and possibly crack.
USE AND CARE
- To prevent stubborn stains on wooden top surfaces, use coasters under cups, vases, glassware, hot pans and similar damp or hot items.
- Remove all types of spillages from the oiled wooden surfaces as soon as they occur.
- Over time, as you will live with the oiled wooden product, it’s normal for stains to appear on the surface. You can reoil the surface to remove these stains.
- Regular dust cleaning with a soft, dry, cotton cloth will help you keep the furniture piece healthy and in good condition.
- Never use sharp, hot or wet objects directly on the product’s wooden surfaces.
OILED OAK
- By buying a piece of furniture made from oiled oak, you will get a product crafted from the highest quality material, treated with a hardwax oil finish.
- Oak is dense, hard and strong. The high tannin content keeps most insects and fungi away. It is a versatile hardwood, which can easily suit a wide variety of aesthetics and different styles.
- As a natural material, oak possesses a number of natural inner properties that are needed to be strengthened and stimulated to ensure long lasting durability.
- Finish available in white pigmented oil (oak remains natural, in its raw, unstained appearance) or with a natural oil (oak gets a darker appearance).
- We treat our oiled products with a plant-based hardwax oil finish, because it preserves the natural look, warmth and feel of wood. The oil penetrates the oak’s pores and nourish them from the inside out. It provides the needed protection by partly closing the pores, but still allowing the wood to breathe. So, the wood surface is more sensitive and requires maintenance, but therefore your product has a great natural touch of wood.
