The Maasto armchair, designed by Ronan Bouroullec for Vaarnii, celebrates the raw beauty and authenticity of Finnish pine. With its clean lines and uncompromising design, it stands out as a piece that is both functional and sculptural, conceived for everyday use in both domestic and public spaces. Its balanced silhouette combines plywood sides with expressive grain, carefully crafted to achieve strength, lightness, and ease of production. The solid wood seat and backrest ensure to Maasto long-lasting durability and comfort. This armchair is distinguished by its “hyper-pine” aesthetic—Vaarnii’s signature—which highlights the natural textures of the wood through a deliberately straightforward approach. Featuring plywood armrests, the Maasto armchair offers enhanced ergonomics and a comfortable seating experience while maintaining a clean, minimalist look.
