016 Maasto Dining Chair Upholstered

The 016 Maasto Dining Chairs Upholstered feature a solid pine base and back, plywood legs and upholstered cushions.

Pine is the most characterful timber and improves with age. Customers can expect pine furniture to slowly mature in colour from a pale tone to a deep honey hue. Vaarnii uses both heart and sapwood. Because these different timber sections age at different speeds, Vaarnii furniture passes through a lively striped phase. However, the timber will settle to a uniform and rich colour.

Pine features a distinct grain and the inclusion of knots. Every piece is unique. Vaarnii never hides the true character of the timber, we regard it as a valuable decorative feature. If knots are present on your Vaarnii furniture, it is important to note that they have been carefully positioned. Because pine is a soft wood, dents and bruises may occur over the years. We ask our customers to embrace these gentle signs of aging. Pine is a natural and unique material. Your pine furniture will age with you. We encourage our customers to enjoy and cherish the beautiful transformation.

Our pine plywood is made from high quality pine and is strong and light. The timber is sourced from the lower section of the pine tree and is therefore free of knots. It has been cut in such a way as to enhance the unique patterns found on the timber’s surface. Pine plywood matures in colour in the same way as solid pine.

The upholstered cushions in the Maasto range are 2cm thick cushions made from latex and cotton and upholstered in Alle by Ronan Bouroullec from Kvadrat. The back cushions are attached via metal connectors embedded in the wooden frame and screws beneath for the seat cushion. These can be detached for easy cleaning or replacement.

Our solid pine products are finished in Osmo Color Oil-wax.

All Vaarnii products are made locally by select Finnish makers and specialists. Every pine tree is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests and timber is hand-selected for the highest quality.

Finish Pine with oilwax finish

Material Scots Pine. Made from pine—a soft wood that, over time, will get dents and scratches. However, these imperfections should be seen as signs of aging that add character, not as flaws. Your pine furniture also naturally changes color as it ages, with the light wood gradually becoming a beautiful honey hue.

Origin of Pine Finland
