GAZZDA is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian design furniture brand for living and sleeping area furniture, founded in 2013 in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) by three founders: Salih Teskeredzic, Zlatko Tanovic and Kenny van Halderen. The company has developed into an internationally recognised brand in a short time: by 2016 GAZZDA had already won four Red Dot Design Awards, including for the Dedo lounge chair and the Tink table. All development — from designers through carpenters to engineers — takes place exclusively in-house in Bosnia and Herzegovina. GAZZDA understands itself as a community that designs furniture beyond the ordinary and brings an atmosphere of tranquillity into the home. Products are recognisable by great proportions, timeless design (not subject to fashion trends), tactility (smooth look and feel) and a constant challenging of material limits — the result is a bolder, elegant look. All GAZZDA products are made from authentic materials and shaped and finished by hand by Bosnian craftspeople. 85% of products are FSC®-certified (FSC-C130602), with wood sourced exclusively from FSC®-certified forests.

Product categories: tables and chairs, sofas and armchairs (lounge), beds and bedside tables, storage units, desks, shelving. Materials: oak (solid wood), walnut (solid wood), beech, linoleum, fabrics. Main applications: private residences, cultural institutions, work spaces, hospitality. Headquarters: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
