Varaschin
Veneto-born outdoor specialist since 1969, built on hand-woven fibre and aluminium, read for the US buyer.
A weaving tradition turned outdoor design house.
Varaschin was founded in 1969 by brothers Ugo and Pietro Varaschin in Vittorio Veneto, a town in the Treviso foothills of the Veneto region. The company began in a family workshop where the brothers learned to hand-weave natural fibres. The rattan boom of the 1970s launched its first exports, and when natural fibre supplies tightened in subsequent years, Varaschin pivoted to synthetic rope, woven webbing and acrylic thread – a shift that proved defining. Today the catalogue is built entirely around outdoor furniture, refined from a hundred collections to roughly thirty after a deliberate restructuring in 2011.
The current roster of designers includes Monica Armani, Calvi Brambilla, Daniele Lo Scalzo Moscheri and Alain Gilles, each contributing a distinct line. For US buyers, collections reach the market through authorised dealers, with lead times that vary by line and finish.

Tibidabo
Designed by Calvi BrambillaTibidabo is Varaschin's flagship woven-rope outdoor programme, designed by the Milan studio Calvi Brambilla. Its signature element is a tall backrest that opens slightly toward the top like the branches of a tree, with handwoven synthetic rope growing denser as it rises – a detail that gives each piece a cocooning quality without sacrificing the sense of the open air.
The collection spans lounge chairs, sofas, daybeds, sun loungers, coffee tables and occasional pieces, making it one of the most complete programmes in the Varaschin catalogue. Frames are powder-coated aluminium; the rope weave and cushion fabrics are specified for outdoor exposure across a range of colourways.
What the pieces are made of.
Across its outdoor work Varaschin uses powder-coated aluminium frames, handwoven synthetic rope, woven webbing and acrylic thread, paired with Dryfeel outdoor foam and weatherproof upholstery fabrics. Teak and HPL appear in the dining programme alongside stainless steel structures. The woven fibre technique traces directly to the brothers' original hand-weaving craft, now applied to synthetic materials engineered for year-round outdoor exposure.
