Founded in 1969 in Vittorio Veneto, in the Treviso foothills of the Alps, Varaschin is now among the leading outdoor furniture brands. The company's history begins in the family barn, where the very young brothers Ugo and Pietro Varaschin learned to weave natural fibers by hand. The boom in rattan and wicker furniture in the 1970s were the first springboard for Varaschin, which began exporting its products. However, material scarcity in the following years dictates a crucial turning point in the company's fate. The Varaschins replace exotic fibers with materials such as rope, woven webbing, and acrylic thread. The 2011 crisis leads to a restructuring of the company, starting with the catalog, from which the indoor range is eliminated to specialize solely on outdoor. It goes from a hundred collections to about thirty, with price lists modulated on three price levels, from entry level to high-end. Unmistakable common denominators are a recognizable design for each collection, quality, comfort, ergonomics, and, above all, hand weaving. Today the brand is present in more than 70 countries and boasts award-winning collections through collaboration with established designers, and provides furniture for the residential, contract and hospitality sectors.

The Emma Daybed garden bed, spacious and comfortable, and the Emma Family king-size version, composed of two symmetrical elements, stand out. The Emma garden sofa is inspired by classic models, with its high, enveloping backrest, also replicated in the Emma Daybed and Emma Compact models. Again a classic quote, namely the bergère à oreilles, for the Emma armchair, which enhances the uniqueness and elegance of the weave. To complete the furnishings, the catalog offers the coordinating complements Emma partition screen, Emma floor lamps, the distinctive Emma Sunscreen sunshade, and the Emma potavaso. The modular Bento sofa, design Calvi Brambilla, multiplies the furnishing possibilities of the outdoor living room, thanks to the modularity of the seating. Regular shapes of different sizes alternate with irregular modules with oblique sides, so as to form unexpected curves. Removable backrests and armrests add comfort and versatility to the ensemble. Lightness and elegance characterize the Summer Set collection, designed by Christophe Pillet. The shell of the seats is made of a distinctive wire mesh weave, while the frame is composed of a thin-section powder-coated steel tubing. The upholstery, covered in capitonné fabric, perfectly matches the shape of the shell, giving the two-seater settee and in the garden rocking chair a distinctly contemporary look, while the auricle armchair, with its matching footrest, winks at classical suggestions. Completing the collection are the high stool for the bar area and the tilting coffee table.
