Swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen brings his unpretentious sensibility to the 001 Dining Chair (2021), part of his first collection for Finnish brand Vaarnii. Though unapologetically bold in pine, the chair offers surprising comfort – made for long, lingering dinners, and everyday use. It showcases Paulsen’s belief that function, material honesty, and comfort must coexist in enduring design.? Founded by Antti Hirvonen and Miklu Sivlanto, Vaarnii creates “brutal and sophisticated” pine furniture shaped by local craftsmanship and a deep respect for the forest, embracing wood’s raw beauty – knots, wild grain, and a rich tone that deepens over time. Made in Finland.
