What is Nunc?
After the great success of Slavonika - concept kitchen at the prestigious Milan furniture fair Salone del Mobile, the Ancona Group under the leadership of Markica Stanušić decided to continue cooperation with young designers from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia. At the beginning of 2019 at one of the most respected furniture fairs in the world, the one in Cologne premiered a new Croatian furniture brand — NUNC.
Nunc is the furniture manufactured in the Slavonia region, the town of Đakovo. The products are designed by authors coming from the wider region who materialized their design ideas by using an invaluable natural resource from the Slavonian region — durable, high-quality, timeless and beautiful timber.
The tradition and culture of everyday life and traditional design of utilitarian items are reinterpreted in contemporary language, combined with modern technology, resulting in timeless aesthetics of simplicity that is present in every “now.”
The product's names communicate the character of their designs, and this is supported by the Slavonia region's typical vocabulary combining Croatian, Serbian, German, Hungarian, and Turkish words into an imaginarium of ancient lifestyle, with sounds and letters solely unique to this specific area.
Bolta, meaning arch, is a chair following the soft shape of the human body.
Ala, meaning dragon, is a collection consisting of dining, office, and conference tables, as well as a table divider.
Svib, meaning flower – a chair providing a sense of stability and comfort with the combination of the metal armrest accentuated by oak veneers and the rotating chair leg construction.
