    Our Dining Chair has instant presence, this is an unapologetically brawny chair. But despite its heft, the Dining Chair has been designed for comfort and makes an enjoyable seat for long and loose dinners. Such refined brutality is typical of Paulsen’s work. As is a love of pine; a material he describes as ‘psychedelic’ because of its lively natural grain. It is best enjoyed over large surface areas, says Paulsen – a theory put into practice here.

    The 001 Dining Chair in Black features a deep black stain, unique to Vaarnii, through which pine's distinctive grain remains pleasingly visible.

    The Dining Chair is an essential, hardworking design made from solid Finnish pine.

    Material Characteristics

    All our pine timber is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests, is PEFC certified and slow grown.

    Vaarnii’s Black furniture is made from the same materials as our natural finish objects. A deep black stain, created in-house, is added as a final stage of the production process. The stain is long-lasting and hard-wearing and has been developed to reveal the decorative wood grain beneath. As the pine wood's natural hue deepens with age, the black stain finish will also gain richness.

    Although our pine timber is the hardest soft timber you can find, it will dent and scratch over time. We ask you to embrace these characterful signs of aging.

    Our raw material is hand selected for maximum quality. Because of the nature of wood, each product has a unique grain, colour, and pattern.

    Naturally occurring fractures in the wood grain are filled with a natural resin. Keeping these imperfections visible is true to Vaarnii’s values of honest and unconventional furniture making.

    Vaarnii’s pine products are finished with stain-resistant, water-repellent hard wax oil.

    The Designer

    Fredrik Paulsen

    Swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen challenges the ‘precious’ in design and has a particular love of inexpensive and accessible materials. His much-celebrated objects and installations are escapist, accessible, and reflect a playful counterculture. Besides the irreverence, Paulsen is a highly skilled maker of forms who returns to the chair typology again and again in pursuit of design perfection.
