Basking in the sun, feeling the coastal breeze on your skin, and sharing laughter with family and friends – outdoor living isn’t just a part of Australian culture – it’s a way of life. From long summer days by the pool to alfresco dining under starry skies, our connection to the outdoors defines how we relax, entertain, and unwind. Recognising this integral part of our culture, Ultimo Interiors in Perth’s Osborne Park has taken it to the next level, unveiling Australia’s first Varaschin Design Studio which introduces the pinnacle of fine Italian outdoor furniture to Australian outdoor living.
Varaschin brings over 50 years of Italian craftsmanship and innovative design. Established in 1969, they’ve built a global reputation for creating outdoor spaces that combine beauty, comfort, and functionality. With a dedication to “Outdoor Therapy,” the brand’s mission is clear: to help people enjoy a lifestyle that prioritises relaxation and well-being in harmony with nature.
“Our mission is to make it easier for people to live well in an outdoor environment. A lifestyle that makes it possible to be relaxed, peaceful and achieve an optimal psychological and physical well-being. Outdoor quality.”
Varaschin’s collections are enriched by collaborations with internationally acclaimed designers. Creative minds such as Monica Armani, Christophe Pillet, Calvi Brambilla, Daniele Lo Scalzo Moscheri, Alain Gilles, Philippe Bestenheider, and Nigel Coates contribute their expertise, shaping pieces that are both timeless and contemporary.
Varaschin’s outdoor furniture collections include The Maat armchair, with its distinctive woven design of multi-coloured synthetic fibre tapes and a stable sculptural form offers a refined invitation to relax. Similarly, the Emma Cross armchair elevates outdoor living with its ergonomic aluminium frame wrapped in acrylic fabric bands and a padded Dryfeel® seat, combining aesthetics and functionality for ultimate comfort.
The Tibidabo collection expands the possibilities of outdoor design with its handwoven synthetic fibre detailing and painted aluminum structures, offering a range of seating, tables, and daybeds that exude artisanal sophistication. Inspired by Japanese bento boxes, the Bento collection introduces modularity with bases in various shapes, allowing endless configurations tailored to any space. For those seeking sleek, airy designs, the Belt sofa offers a modern aesthetic with lightweight supports and versatile modular compositions. Together, these collections redefine outdoor relaxation and beauty.
At the heart of Varaschin’s design ethos lies a commitment to sustainability, dedication to environmental, economic, and social responsibility. This holistic approach ensures that Varaschin’s outdoor collections are as ethical as they are elegant. The concept of “Outdoor Therapy” guides every design, prioritising physical and psychological well-being through furniture that perfectly balances form and function. Varaschin’s innovative approach ensures that outdoor spaces are as inviting and sophisticated as any interior.
Their vision says it all – “Be the European benchmark for qualified outdoor furniture. We inspire people to live in an outdoor environment that is as close to nature as possible, and that ensures a high level of comfort, well-being and conviviality. We offer a new lifestyle, in which beauty and sustainability coexist in perfect harmony.”
The opening of the Varaschin Design Studio in Perth marks a significant step forward for outdoor design in Australia. Ultimo Interiors, after 12 years of nurturing the Varaschin brand through high-profile residential projects and iconic commercial endeavours like the Momo Resort in Fiji, is proud to unveil this dedicated space.
Visitors to the Perth studio can explore a curated selection of furniture that highlights the artistry of Italian design and outdoor functionality.
