Let us introduce Vaarnii, a new brand with a collection of wooden objects where brutality meets sophistication.

The brand draws on traditional furniture, which, in the past, used to be made using local, abundant materials. Inspired by this notion, Vaarnii's furniture is also based on practicality and locally available materials – the brand's first collection is crafted in Finland, mainly from Finnish pine wood.

The name Vaarnii is a combination of the words “vaarna”, Finnish for dowel, and “saarni”, Finnish for ash. The name refers to the carpenters and other artisans behind each product as well as to honest natural materials: all of Vaarnii’s furniture and home accessories showcase both the people who made them and the materials used, deliberately incorporating each material’s natural characteristics into the design, and even emphasizing them. The end result is a distinct collection of furniture that combines sophistication with raw, brutal aesthetics.
