In a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, Vaarnii, the popular Finnish design brand, unveiled the Maasto chair by Fredrik Paulsen during the Stockholm Design Week 2024. The Maasto chair serves as an ode to pine, a material deeply rooted in Finnish heritage and nature.
Vaarnii, established in 2022, has become synonymous with celebrating the natural beauty of pine through collaborations with visionary designers like Kwangho Lee, Studiomama, Mac Collins, and Philippe Malouin. Fredrik Paulsen’s Maasto dining chair creates a simple design with meticulous engineering that enhances the inherent expressiveness of pine.
The angular chair boldly embraces Vaarnii’s brutalist design. It has a deep seat, shorter armrests, and a gently slanted back, supported by thick legs, creating a structural masterpiece. Panels on the side and back allow the richness of the pine grain to take center stage, creating a captivating contrast with the chair’s minimalist construction.

What sets the Maasto chair apart is its groundbreaking use of pine plywood, a first for Vaarnii. This bold move represents a pivotal moment in the company’s exploration of furniture construction. The chair is a testament to Vaarnii’s commitment to pushing boundaries and creating designs that echo the past while embracing the future.
As Stockholm Design Week 2024 unfolds, the €650 ($700) Maasto chair calls admirers to appreciate the beauty, strength, and innovation born from the union of Vaarnii and Fredrik Paulsen’s creative prowess.
