ŽIG is a Belgrade upholstery workshop run by the Cvetković family, with over 20 years of experience — from classic and period furniture, through interiors for cafés and restaurants, to theatre set design and other special projects. What we do for clients every day, we now teach you.
We don't sell a course — we share a craft and offer an authentic, unforgettable experience. Small groups mean everyone gets attention and leaves with a piece they're proud of.
Upholstery is a craft nurtured in our family for three generations now. Today, as many old crafts slowly disappear, we want to keep this one alive and pass it on.
Through our workshops, the skill we inherited becomes something you can learn and take home too. It's our way of making sure the tradition doesn't remain only a memory.
A workshop gives you an experience to remember. Ideal for dates, birthdays, anniversaries, Women's Day, Valentine's Day or team building.
Gift vouchers available. Contact us for details.
