Shadley Harribi has always loved working with his hands and from a young age started working in an upholstery factory shop cleaning up scraps and pieces of fabric, sweeping and generally helping out. He then moved onto cutting fabric, stuffing pillowcases until he eventually learnt how to make an entire couch from scratch.

You would often find him crunched over his upholstery station in the humble backyard of the house he and his family occupied at the time, trying to create the perfect fold in a debuttoned sofa.

Doing odd jobs on the weekend, he created a family operated business called Zanzy which focuses on delivering quality customised furniture and excellent customer service.
