Getting Creative with Nature – Build Your Zuny Collection

Zuny – the funny zoo – first staged an appearance in Australia, back in 2007. These simple accessories for modern home décor, made from leather, emerged into the markets from the creativity and imagination of their designers. The designers had a lot on their minds when they conceived the idea of coming up with the Zuny series. The initial thought was to highlight a concern for the environment and the declining natural resources. The second line of thought involved using creatures that would appeal to people, even as they shared a bond with the environment. The third idea was to imbue these creatures with qualities that would enrich the lives of their owners. Lastly, the designers felt that the products must also serve some utilitarian purpose.

By exercising their imagination, the designers came up with the Zuny Collection, which the tailors brought to life. No one could have foreseen the impact Zuny had on people. From its humble beginnings, Zuny has moved to the top premium gift stores in Australia that offer funky gifts and creative gifts. It has also appeared on television. Today, the Zuny range of products has become so popular that you would not find it hard to come across someone with a personal Zuny collection in their homes. So what makes Zuny’s handmade gifts so popular? At Zuny, we believe that the inherent charm of our animals lies in the fact that they “make life funny and easy”.

Most people find it easy to shop for someone they love and know well. Therefore, you know what your spouse or partner would like. You know exactly what the kids or your parents would love having. Occasionally, it could be a challenging ask. However, more often than not, you would back yourself to get them just what they need. But what about shopping for people whom you know, but not as well? For example, how easy is it for you to find gifts for your colleagues or other people whom you do not know as well?

Unique gift ideas are hard to come by when shopping for this group of people. You could consider giving stationery items like notepads, organisers or fancy leather pads. Writing accessories like fountain or ballpoint pens from a quality manufacturer could also be worthwhile gifts. However, with more offices striving to achieve paperless environments, stationery could also be a dicey gift. Food items are not worthwhile gifts either. In situations like these, getting creative with your gifts is the best strategy. And, what could be more creative than nature? In short, gifting your co-workers a Zuny product could be the best decision.

The Zuny product range comprises three series i.e. the Zuny series, the Zuny Classic series and the Zuny Cicci series. Each series follows different designing styles.

• The Zuny Classic Collection: This is the original series of Zuny animals. Many people consider leather as a classic material. Hence, this collection is made of leather. It focuses on the classical and delicate atmosphere. Most animals will be either black, tan, brown or white. A Zuny animal from this series will infuse warmth and elegance into the recipient’s home or workplace.
• The Zuny Series: Compared to the Classic Collection, this range of animals offers more mirth and humour. The animals in this series have simpler designers as compared to those from the Classic Collection.
• The Zuny Cicci Series: The animals comprising this series have a chubbier look (Cicci is Italian for “chubby objects). This makes it perfect for kids and young adults.

Many people might feel that Zuny products are perfect funky gifts for children. They would hardly fit the bill for adults. However, that is not the case. Initially, the Zuny collection comprised a small set of colourful animals, especially designed for children. They were perfect for the nursery. However, since then, we have branched out and transformed those toys for kids into a number of other items. Today, the Zuny animals are not just toys. They also serve as book ends, keyrings, paperweights, giants and even as a door stopper. Therefore, for chic co-workers, the Zuny keyring makes a perfect fashion accessory with which they could adorn their handbags. Paperweights are ideal for having on desks – whether at home or the workplace. Doorstoppers also provide equal value at home and work.

Therefore, regardless of the occasion or of how well you know the recipient, a Zuny product makes an evergreen gift. A Zuny animal is a timeless work of art. In good times, it will keep you in good spirits. In moments of difficulty, it will help you smile.
