CHERISHED BY GENERATIONS — 014 NORPPA ROCKING TOY

The 014 Norppa Rocking Toy by Studiomama for Vaarnii takes its name and form from the endangered Finnish Norppa seal — one of the rarest freshwater seals in the world. Skilfully milled from solid pine, the distinctive grain adds contour and expression to the seal's shape and face, making every Norppa subtly different from the next. While all Vaarnii products are designed to last, this concept is especially meaningful here: Norppa is an object to be cherished by multiple generations, passed down as both a toy and a keepsake.

Made in Finland from sustainably sourced Finnish pine.

STRONG, SEVERE, BUILT FOR DECADES — 012 KOLMIO DINING TABLE

The 012 Kolmio Dining Table by Cecilie Manz for Vaarnii is sturdy and stable — and it looks that way too. 'People will intuitively understand Kolmio as a very solid piece of furniture,' says Manz. To achieve such great expanses of wood, she devised a unique sandwich of material: an inner layer of offcut pine encased by perfect planks, creating an impressively economical and engineered material. Kolmio is strong and severe, designed to take everything the day, the year, the decade can throw at it. Available in 227 cm and 305 cm lengths.

REFINED BRUTALISM — 001 DINING CHAIR

The 001 Dining Chair by Fredrik Paulsen commands attention the moment it enters a room. Unapologetically brawny in form, it makes no attempt to disguise its mass — and that is precisely its strength. Designed for long, convivial dinners, it pairs sculptural presence with genuine comfort. Paulsen's signature refined brutalism is fully expressed here, as is his deep affinity for pine — a material he describes as 'psychedelic' for its lively, ever-shifting grain. "It is best enjoyed over large surface areas," says Paulsen — a theory put beautifully into practice.
