The Maasto dining chair by Vaarnii makes a striking impression with its brutally stripped-back appearance, where Finnish pine takes centre stage. This time, the raw beauty is paired with a sophisticated layer of upholstery. The pattern of Kvadrat's Alle wool blend fabric further emphasises the character of the pine with its varied wood grain patterns, while adding softness not only to the ruggedly beautiful appearance of the chair, but also under the sitter.
