A New Vernacular
Vaarnii makes furniture from a single raw material:
Finnish pine. Built by local craftspeople and factories in Finland.
Lighting
Local Materials, Local Makers
Vaarnii works hyper-locally with individual craftspeople, workshops and small factories. We stay close enough to study every detail.
It’s how we ensure quality, sustainability and transparency in every part of the process.
