SKEKK

DESIGN: Cecilie Manz

Just like it’s partner, the Kolmio Dining Table, this bench is designed for everyday use. Beneath its seemingly straight-forward form is a unique engineering solution; a sandwich of material made from an inner layer of offcut pine encased by perfect planks. Everything is revealed in the Kolmio’s distinctive and strong profile, only a slight chamfer edge is conceded to soften the severity.

CHARACTERISTICS.

Pine gets better with age. The colours mature to a deeper palette. The heartwood and sapwood age at different speeds and bring out the natural patterns of the grains. After a few years, pine will settle into a rich and complex honey tone   Pine is a soft wood and will get dents and bruises over the years. But don’t think of them as blemishes or flaws. Embrace them. They’re evidence of life lived and furniture loved. Pine isn’t life-proof. It’s proof of life.   All our products are locally made by select Finnish makers and specialists. Every pine tree is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests. The wood is hand-selected of the highest quality and each piece has its own unique colours and grain patterns.

The Kolmio Dining Table is sturdy and stable, and it looks that way too. ‘People will intuitively understand Kolmio as a very solid piece of furniture’ says Cecilie Manz. In order to achieve such great expanses of wood, Manz has created a unique sandwich of material where an inner layer of offcut pine is encased by perfect planks. The result is 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.

A partner to the Osa Outdoor Dining Table, the Osa Bench is made from the same innovatively heat-treated pine. Henrik Tjaerby’s design for the Osa Outdoor Series uses a standardised T-shaped section and minimal components in a modular system. The ingenuity of construction means that Osa Tables and Benches can be span great lengths. Osa is an explicitly functional design that is robust, resilient and adaptable.

Made in Finland of Finnish pine.

All Vaarnii products are made locally by a small number of expert Finnish makers. All pinewood is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests and is PEFC certified.  

Our outdoor products are made of heat-treated pine, Lunawood ThermoWood®. Thermowood is a non-toxic material produced by using only heat, and steam. 

Products will start reacting with UV light very quickly and begin changing colour towards a beautiful silver tone once unboxed. The products will reach their final color after approximately one year outdoors.

Although our pine wood is the hardest soft wood you can find, it will dent and scratch over time. We ask you to embrace these characterful signs of aging.

Made from heat-treated pine able to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, the Osa Outdoor range by Henrik Tjaerby is explicitly functional and purposefully elemental in its design. The Osa Dining Chair is intended for use alongside our Osa Outdoor Table, sharing the same proportions and distinctive seating planks. It is tough; designed to survive both wet weather and sun exposure, and reliable; timeless seating from which to enjoy many summers. This is a chair with limitless potential that needs little explanation, says Tjaerby.

Norppa is a rocking toy that takes its name and form from the endangered Finnish Norppa seal. Whilst all Vaarnii products are designed to last, this concept is especially appropriate for Norppa, an object that should be cherished by multiple generations. Norppa is skilfully milled from solid pine with the distinctive grain adding contour and expression to the seal shape and face. Every characterful Norppa Rocking Toy will be subtly different from the next.

CHARACTERISTICS.

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. 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 solid timber is hand-selected for the highest quality. Our pine plywood is currently sourced from central Europe due to a lack of high-quality local material. Vaarnii very much hopes to find a supplier of Finnish plywood that matches our desire for quality.

Maasto Bar Stool in Black features a deep black stain, unique to Vaarnii, through which the pine's distinctive grain remains pleasingly visible.

Vaarnii’s Black furniture is made from the same materials as our original finished objects. A deep black stain, created in-house, is added as a final stage of the production process. The stain is long-lasting and hard-wearing and has been developed to reveal the decorative wood grain beneath. As the pine wood's natural hue deepens with age, the black stain finish will also gain richness. Pine features a distinct grain and the inclusion of knots. Every piece is unique.
