015 Peace outdoor foot stool, pine

Vaarnii's Peace outdoor footstool is a true eye-catcher for your garden, balcony or terrace. The convenient stool can be used as a footrest or as an additional outdoor seat, either on its own or combined with the Peace lounge chair.

Behind the stool's classic yet mesmerising design language is the British designer Faye Toogood. Indeed, the Peace footstool is filled with playfulness typical of its designer, combined with a surprising material: natural pine. Made of heat-treated pine, the Peace stool can withstand even the harshest outdoor conditions from hitting rain to scorching sunshine. Over time, the heat-treated pine adopts a silvery-grey patina that adds an intriguing allure to the look of the Peace outdoor stool. If you wish to maintain and enhance the original hues of the pine, regularly oil the wooden surface with a suitable furniture oil.

Vaarnii is a Finnish design brand that launched in 2021. In their design, the brand draws on traditional furniture, which, in the past, used to be made using local, abundant materials. Inspired by this notion, Vaarnii's furniture is also based on practicality and locally available materials – Finnish pine wood has played a key role in many of Vaarnii’s collections.

The name Vaarnii is a combination of the words “vaarna”, Finnish for dowel, and “saarni”, Finnish for ash. The name refers to the carpenters and other artisans behind each product as well as to honest natural materials: all of Vaarnii’s furniture and home accessories showcase both the people who made them and the materials used, deliberately incorporating each material’s natural characteristics into the design, and even emphasizing them. The end result is a distinct collection of furniture that combines sophistication with raw, brutal aesthetics.
