The book prints one finish system for the whole range — 31 finishes across 12 printed families.
This is the house palette, keyed to the range rather than to this piece: it is what the book says the collections can be finished in, not a stock list. Which finish this piece is built in is confirmed on the technical sheet.

The finish plates, in the bookCushion thickness is deck arithmetic, not a style choice: the maker builds the bare frame deck low or high knowing what will sit on it, and the cushion is the remainder to a comfortable finished seat. That is why a dining pad runs thin and deep seating runs thick — neither is an upgrade on the other.
- For a lounge or deep seating
- 10–13 cm, seat and back — the frame deck is built low on purpose — the cushion, not the frame, sets the finished seat height.
- Core
- Exposed pieces take an open-cell, fast-draining (reticulated) core: water passes straight through instead of pooling in the foam. A crowned profile sheds standing water by geometry. Neither makes a cushion waterproof — outdoor builds drain, they do not seal.
- Fabric
- Outdoor cloth earns its keep in the fibre. Solution-dyed yarn carries its pigment all the way through the fibre, so colour survives sun and scrubbing; surface-dyed cloth wears its colour off. Performance fabrics are water-resistant rather than waterproof, and mildew grows on dirt sitting on the cloth, not in the fibre itself — which is why the published care is washing, drying and standing a soaked cushion on edge to drain.
- Patterns & your own fabric
- Fabrics and patterns are fully specifiable — plains, stripes and prints, with repeat, direction and railroading captured in the brief so a pattern lands straight on every panel. Many pieces also accept customer’s own material (C.O.M.) — the brief asks rather than assumes.
As the maker dimensions it
Commission custom cushionsWhere Varaschin publishes a cushion thickness, it prints on the product sheet’s own elevation: TIBIDABO sofa 14 cm over a 28 cm deck, BABYLON sofa 15 cm, CRICKET settee 9 cm on a sculpted shell, TIBIDABO dining armchair 8 cm. Most sheets print seat height only — where no figure is printed, none is claimed here.
Made to order through our supplier workshops — sized to this frame, in your chosen fabric, from a thin dining pad to a full deep-seating build.

Sheets are issued per piece against the current supplier revision, so the drawing you receive matches what will be built, not an older press.

Request CAD- MODELLO REGISTRATO / REGISTERED MODEL
- Registered-design notice printed at the foot of the collection description on the openers of EMMA (render p004), EMMA CROSS (p031), EMMA SUNSCREEN (p046), TIBIDABO (p051), SUMMER SET (p095), CRICKET (p110), BABYLON (p127), SYSTEM STAR (p136), SYSTEM (p144), BARCODE (p155) and BALI (p163). NOT printed on the BELT opener (render p073) — BELT is the one collection in part 1 whose opener carries no registered-model line.
- teak di piantagione certificata / certified plantation teak
- Timber sourcing claim printed on the SYSTEM opener (render p144, for the optional teak bench seat), the BARCODE opener (p155, whole collection) and the BALI opener (p163, whole collection). Printed wording: "teak di piantagione certificata" / "plantation certified solid teak" / "solid teak wood from certified plantation". No certification scheme or certificate number is printed.
- soluzioni d'arredo / MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS (BELT)
- BELT carries two configuration-reference spreads, render p089 (printed 174-175) and render p093 (printed 182-183). Each prints eight plan-view sofa layouts labelled /01 to /08. NO article codes and NO dimensions are printed on either spread — they are layout inspiration only, not a parts list.
- MODELLO REGISTRATO / REGISTERED MODEL
- Registration statement printed on the technical spreads of BALI BERGÈRE DECK RELAX, NOSS, CLEVER, LINK, LAPIS, BENTO, PLINTO, BAHIA, MAAT and KOLONAKI. SMART instead prints 'MATERIALE REGISTRATO / REGISTERED MATERIAL' (referring to VAR#TEX, not the model).
- LINK extendable mechanism
- Dedicated spread 'link allungabile / EXTENDABLE TABLE' (printed 404-405) showing the 200x100 H73 in three states: closed 200, one 55 cm leaf to 255, two 55 cm leaves to 310. The photo captions are printed '200 mm / 255 mm / 310 mm' — evidently centimetres given the icons and the rest of the catalogue; recorded as printed, not corrected.
- BENTO composition rules
- 'soluzioni d'arredo / MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS' (printed 470-471): nine worked composition diagrams labelled /01 to /09 built from the seven BENTO modules. The prose states the customer may re-arrange purchased modules repeatedly and add further modules later, 'rispettando semplicemente le regole di composizione / following the possible options available'. Caption: 'DIVANO BENTO - TAVOLINO BELT - PANCA SYSTEM'.
- CARPET material specification
- 'Tappeti per esterno realizzati con fibre sintetiche, non-assorbenti e altamente resistenti all'azione degli agenti atmosferici. 100% Polipropilene / Outdoor carpet in synthetic fibers, non absorbent and highly resistant to bad weather. 100% Polypropelene' (spelling as printed).
- TRAMA material specification
- 'Coperta per esterno con lavorazione maglia rasata. Composizione 100% Olyna. / Outdoor knitted blanket made of 100% Olyna.' Size 170x120 cm, five printed colourways.
- COVER — protective covers programme
