001 Barstóll

REFINED BRUTALISM — 001 BAR STOOL

The 001 Bar Stool by Fredrik Paulsen carries the same unapologetic mass and presence as its dining chair sibling — scaled and proportioned for counter and bar height seating. Paulsen's love of pine is fully on display: the lively, psychedelic grain of slow-grown Finnish timber is best appreciated across the stool's generous surfaces. Designed for comfort over long sittings, this is a piece that earns its place in any kitchen or bar setting through sheer character and craft.

Made in Finland from sustainably sourced Finnish pine.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Vaarnii is a Finnish design brand built on a singular conviction: that pine, the most abundant wood in Finland's sustainably managed forests, deserves to be taken seriously as a luxury material. Every Vaarnii product is made by a small circle of expert Finnish craftspeople using PEFC-certified, slow-grown timber. The result is furniture of rare honesty — objects that age visibly, gracefully, and with character.
