Sustainability
Our commitment
We believe in the inherent sustainability of enduring products. That’s why we strive to design premium-quality furniture with timeless appeal. At Varier, we take responsibility by thoughtfully considering every choice we make and its impact on both people and planet. From carefully selecting materials to collaborating with trusted partners and refining our packaging, our commitment to better and less wasteful production standards is at the heart of everything we do.
Quality and craftmanship
The most impactful sustainable contribution we can make, is creating chairs that you will want to keep year after year. Varier chairs are made to last for decades. Our aim is to create timeless pieces that aren’t dictated by specific trends. With their distinctive form, and functional design we hope our chairs will be enjoyed for years to come and passed on. Our chairs are made to last and an average claim rate of just 0.37%, lower than the industry average, supports this statement. We are proud of this but remain committed to refining our processes and reducing it even further. Follow the link below for details on product warranty.
Materials
We collaborate closely with skilled suppliers across Europe to create and deliver chairs of uncompromising quality, sourcing from different regions based on proximity to raw materials and crafting expertise.
Care and maintenance
Correct care will prolong the lifespan of your chair. We have straightforward care guides for all materials utilized in our chairs.
Spare parts
We strive to make it easy to replace smaller parts on your chair when needed. We offer everything from a single screw to new cushion sets. Spare parts are available to order on varierfurniture.com or through our network of retail partners.
Environmental Product Declarations
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized document that provides transparent, verified data about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. It is based on a Life Cycle Assessment and contains detailed information on materials used, degree of recycled contents in both the product itself and packaging, climate footprint and which parts of the chair can be recycled when it can no longer be used for its intended purpose. If you are interested in learning more, EPDs for Varier chairs can be found by following the link below.
Logistics and packaging
Varier chairs are safely packaged in boxes made from 90% recycled cardboard. We currently use plastic bags to protect the chairs from humidity fluctuations during shipment. Varier chairs are designed for compact shipping and easy assembly. Sending flat-packed allows us to reduce carbon emissions caused by inefficient shipping practices and ensures that shipping unnecessary air is kept to a minimum.
We have streamlined our product inserts by moving more information to digital formats, reducing the amount of printed material included with each chair and making information easier to access. This creates a smoother and more convenient post-purchase experience, where customers can find what they need quickly and in one place. The result is a better overall experience and less unnecessary printed material.
Transparency and traceability
We take our responsibility as a corporate citizen seriously and work actively to secure fair working conditions for all people involved in our business, be it internally in Varier or with our partners. We comply with all requirements set out in the Norwegian Transparency Act. Follow the link below for more information.
