Faye Toogood on the collaboration with Vaarnii
Vaarnii is a Finnish furniture brand founded in 2021. The name is a combination of the Finnish words vaarna and saarni, both meaning ash, and reflects the brand’s clear focus on natural materials and wood as a core element in its design. With roots in the Nordic design tradition, Vaarnii combines robust craftsmanship with a contemporary and pared-back expression.

Vaarnii works with local materials and manufacturers, focusing on Finnish design and craftsmanship. The furniture is made from solid pine, a material that provides durable construction and long-lasting quality. The design language is straightforward and structural, with few details and clear lines.
The brand collaborates with several international designers. One example is Faye Toogood, who has designed an outdoor armchair in heat-treated pine. Vaarnii has also worked with Hans-Agne Jakobsson, whose lamps combine Finnish pine with strips of veneer to create a warm and soft light. These collaborations broaden the collection while maintaining a consistent material focus.
The range includes chairs, tables, benches, and storage furniture. The 001 Chair and 002 Table are examples of Vaarnii’s distinct design language. All products are made from solid pine with visible grain and a surface that evolves over time.
Vaarnii fits into environments where the material is allowed to take centre stage and the construction is visible. The furniture works well in living rooms, dining areas, and home offices, and is also used in public settings such as restaurants and hotels. Solid pine provides a sense of stability and is suited for frequent use.
Vaarnii uses pine as a conscious material choice. Solid pine is a renewable resource and offers a robust construction that can be maintained over time. The surface gradually darkens with use and develops a more pronounced character over the years.
