Vaarnii 2025: Fredrik Paulsen’s 001 Collection in Black

Finnish design house Vaarnii continues its exploration of pine with a new black-stained edition of the 001 series by Fredrik Paulsen, the 001 Stool and 001 Dining Chair unveiled at Nordiska Galleriet in Stockholm.

Known for transforming pine from an everyday material into something architectural and refined, Vaarnii treats each product as a study in honesty and craft. The deep black finish has been developed through a long, considered process with Finnish artisans, designed to enhance rather than conceal the wood’s natural grain.

The result is a black that feels alive, subtle, warm, and tactile revealing the pine’s rich character beneath the surface. A final oil-based lacquer seals and protects, giving the pieces a lasting presence.

With this launch, Vaarnii once again proves that true sophistication lies in material integrity, finding modern expression within one of nature’s most traditional woods.
