Zanat Bunna Chair
BUNNA CHAIR
BUNNA CHAIR
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa
Bunna Chair, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, is an extraordinary new chair. Bunna is at the same time avantgarde and primeval, strong and soft, rebellious and reliable.
It is named Bunna after a river that starts its journey from the most magnificent spring in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where emerald waters calmly flow from a deep cave at the bottom of a cliff, soon to turn into wild rapids as the river continues its journey towards the nearby Adriatic Sea.
The name Bunna in Bosnian also means rebellion, which aptly describes the character of the chair with boldly sculpted, singular back and armrests
. The seat of the chair is hand-carved in a way ancient chair seats were sculpted out in tree logs.
The carved texture on the seat renders it pleasantly soft and tactile while the bowl-like seat shape and long backrest provide ample comfort. While Bunna is very different from any chair Naoto Fukasawa designed, his handwriting is clearly visible in its design.

CARE
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 button below. Oil-finished dining tables come with a free care & maintenance kit. The kits can also be purchased from zanat.
WOOD
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.
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
WARRANTY
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.
