Buttery softwood. Soft and organic shapes. Timeless designs. Premium quality. This is exactly what you get with Artisan, which handcrafts every single piece of furniture and has more than 50 years of experience. Artisan controls the entire production process from the log to the final product and with a zero waste policy, ensuring that you only get the crème de la crème of furniture.
Artisan has a deep love for wood. The founder of the company, Fadil Ćostović, comes from a long line of wood carpenters, so it was only natural for him to start Artisan in 2007. However, his love for wood began long before, as a child – with a family tradition of working with wood for more than 50 years, it was simply in his blood.
Fast forward seven years, and Artisan is a successful, thriving company with several awards, providing furniture for Louis Vuitton stores, members of the Dutch Royal family and private customers across the globe. It’s no wonder Artisan is so loved; it works with world-renowned designers and its furniture is simply amazing.
“Our style is soft and minimalistic, it’s very organic with soft, round shapes. Many of our designers are inspired by the female body when they design,” says Armin Huremović, sales director at Artisan. “Our furniture invites you to touch it, it’s so soft that it doesn’t even feel like wood. You can really feel our love for wood.”
Slow and sustainable furniture
Artisan controls the entire production process from the log to the final product. The company sources the logs from forests in Bosnia-Herzegovina and brings them back to the sawmill in Tešanj. Here, the wood is dried naturally for months, until it’s ready to be made into furniture – a process that can take up to a year.
Moreover, the company has a zero-waste and sustainability policy. Huremović explains: “We collect all the sawdust from the wood and compress it to make wooden pallets, so we don’t waste any wood at all. Within the next two years, our packaging will be completely plastic-free.”
Artisan can customise all designs depending on your style, taste, and home. Its furniture is truly a long-term investment that you can pass down to your children and grandchildren.
