Our principles

We are Jan and Reana and we are behind NaniManu – the design manufacturer.

As a married couple, we develop ideas together for home accessories, gift items and experiences that make our hearts sing.

We love creative and imaginative products that take us into a world of experience that we would buy for ourselves or give as a gift.

We often come across products from friends that blow us away – these also find their place on our NaniManu platform.

"Nani" stands for Reana's family nickname, "Manu" is the abbreviation for Manufaktur.

Creating experiences

We are committed to ensuring that traditional craftsmanship still has a place in today's world, often combined with modern technology.

We achieve this with our own products and our events in the studio.

Our friends visit us regularly and show off their skills. Through workshops or their own range as a pop-up (short-term store concept).

Here you can find our current events: nanimanu.ch/events

In a world that is often dominated by quantity and speed, we are proud to take a different path. We believe in the power of less, in the conscious. Quality remains timeless.

Every step of our creative journey is executed with thought and dedication to ensure that the final product is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also tells a story.

For us, fair trade means recognizing the dignity and value of every individual along the production chain.

We want to protect and preserve our environment. Therefore, we work with environmentally friendly materials and attach great importance to minimizing our ecological footprint.

At nanimanu.ch we firmly believe that change is possible – through joint efforts and investing in a sustainable future.

The launch of NaniManu

The family brand NaniManu started in 2019 with Andy Hostettler, Marie-Anne Cobigo-Hostettler, Reana Hostettler-Durrer and Jan Durrer.

Since the four had already worked together for PanoramaKnife and Urwyler & Hostettler before NaniManu, the first products were made primarily from wood.

After a while, the interests of the founding members were redistributed. Marie-Anne is involved with s'Fachl in Konstanz , Andy is active in the gourmet sector with fumar.ch and casafumar.ch . Jan also received more and more offers through his online marketing company adduse.ch and Reana, in addition to her work for NaniManu and AddUse, became more involved with her own label reana.ch .

Jan and Reana have decided that they want to go in a different direction with NaniManu. They want to work with different materials and also offer smaller gift ideas.

The design factory should create experiences.

Through the products, our own and those of friends, but also through the location in Baden.

Since April 2023, the processing and warehousing for the online shop has been run via Baden and since October 2023 the company Hostettler & Durrer GmbH «NaniManu» has belonged entirely to Jan and Reana.

Andy and Marie-Anne continue to sell NaniManu products. We appreciate their commitment and thank them for the many years we have spent together.
