History

Established in 2000 in Bali, Indonesia, ZAPPDesign was founded by Brazilian designer, Reynaldo Maldonado (aka Zapp).

In the early years the focus was very much on developing modern designs made out of reclaimed teakwood salvaged from old demolished buildings. The use of recycled materials continues today as does using skilled traditional craftsmanship, core to achieving the high quality that’s associated with ZAPPdesign integrity.

This long term commitment to handmade local craftsmanship has allowed the company to begin to influence local markets towards a more design orientated strategy, one of the key visions of Zapp.

From small begins in Bali, ZAPPdesign has grown to include ZDStudio, ZDContract and the growing ZDPartnership, and now has contracts and distribution around the globe.
