001 Dining Chair

Despite its bold looks, Vaarnii’s 001 Dining Chair is surprisingly comfortable thanks to its curved seat. Such refined brutality is typical of Fredrik Paulsen’s work. As is a love of pine; a material he describes as ‘psychedelic’ because of its lively natural grain. Underneath the seat, you'll find a groove that allows the user to easily pull the stool forward.

The large surface areas of the Dining Chair turn the spotlight to its characterful material, Finnish pine. As a result of the naturally occurring oils and resins, pine will change colour as it ages. Heartwood and sapwood will start aging at a different speed resulting in a gorgeous and lively grain. The color will gradually even out and mature to a beautiful honey tone over the course of years. 

Although Finnish pine is the hardest soft wood one can find, scratches and dents are bound to be expected depending on the use. Vaarnii encourages you to embrace these imperfections and see them as characterful signs of aging.
