La mia idea con la collezione Cricket era quella di creare una reinterpretazione moderna della classica sedia da giardino: invitante e amichevole con un fascino senza tempo. Una collezione di sedute che si combina a diversi scenari, indooor [sic] e outdoor. Il nome Cricket rievoca sia il gioco che con mazza e palla si pratica all'aria aperta, sia l'insetto dal corpo pieno e le gambe snelle, che risuona con il suo canto nelle caldi notti d'estate. / [printed English] My intention with the Cricket collection was to make a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic garden chair. Inviting and friendly with a timeless charm. A collection of seating that fits into many settings, indoors and outdoors. The name Cricket associates both with the outdoor bat and ball game played on a green field. Or with the appearance of the insect Cricket, with its full body and slender legs, but also with their chirping song on a hot summer night.

Custom cushionsMade to order for this frame, in your chosen fabric — commission cushions, or read Cushions & comfort below.
8 pieces indexed across 17 spreads (reader pp. 110–126). Credited to Anki Gneib.
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.

Colour charts as printed — © Varaschin. Ask the desk for the current season’s card.
Printed colours are approximate — specify against a physical sample.
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.
Where 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.
Technical sheet issued on request, per piece.
Sheets are issued per piece against the current supplier revision, so the drawing you receive matches what will be built, not an older press.
