From the rich, deep tones of American Walnut to the light, uniform structures of Maple, the options for individual Artisan products are varied to suit every taste and style.

American Walnut

A durable and solid material of deep dark tones, considered black gold. With an impressively dark and rich colour, American Walnut is an attractive, raw material for the making of unique and rare final products.

European Walnut

A widely used solid wood characterised by expressiveness and richness of nuances, European Walnut is accentuated in the fine texture of its grain. Easily shaped and fine-polished, this wood is ideal for furniture of peculiar aesthetics expressed in a strong material which resists age and wear.

Oak

A wood of particular firmness and resilience, Oak makes it possible to manufacture high-quality furniture, featuring durability and beauty. Refined final treatments highlight and preserve the material’s characteristics, with a varnished or oil-coated final product. Lighter or darker oil coating can achieve subtle aesthetic effects and help to underline the wood’s natural appearance, protecting the product from aging.

Ash

A regular structure of fibers spans across the light surface of Ash wood and creates an aesthetically refined body. This solid and flexible material is suitable for products requiring a minute treatment of details and a sculptural approach to design.

Artisan's History

Once a traditional woodwork shop called Ćostović, the Artisan factory was built out of 50 years of love and experience in wood processing and production. With a base in the heart of Bosnia, Artisan has grown steadily to create stylish home furniture products for customers and clients around the world.

At Artisan, the team prides itself on delivering high quality wood products to their customers, controlling the entire production process from start to finish. From naturally drying their woods in specifically designed factories to designing and constructing the final piece, they oversee the whole journey of their furniture.

Importance of:

Design

Artisan give their wood into the hands of trusted and dedicated designers who share their love of wood and sustainability. The factory, the plant and the in-house artisans are equipped and trained to offer designers as much freedom and options as possible in order for them to realize their vision. Furthermore they encourage their designers to create each piece with their own artistic signature, emphasising that every such piece is worthy of the precious material it was made from, thus conveying their philosophy and love of wood.

Technology

In 2009 Artisan founded the company ARTECO Wood Technology Center, designed to make the company the driving force of a new movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s wood industry. Establishing a unique technological centre for the wood-processing industry, Arteco aims to provide infrastructure and expertise in design, prototype production, work on state-of-the-art CAD machinery, woodwork machinery, finishing, preparation, raw material drying and help in the export of final wood-processing products.

Hands are the most important piece of equipment used in the Artisan workshops, and the control point in their woodworking process. From a tree to a chair, their wood travels from the hands of one artisan to another. From the initial wood selection to its preparation for production, rough processing and assembling, finishing and protection… at every moment their sharp eye and infallible touch guarantee an individual approach that results in a top-quality product.
