12 outside design studios are credited on their collections, and the remaining 15 collections are credited to R&D Varaschin, Varaschin’s own studio. 34 of the 38 collections have a written description in the catalogue; the rest are shown in drawings and photographs.
152 of the 304 pieces drawn in the catalogue have no name or article code, so they are listed by type, such as “dining armchair”. Ask us to identify any of them. KOLONAKI comes in six table sizes, all at one height, with no low version.
Read the heights twice
Two ways of stating table height.
In Varaschin’s catalogue, a table height either includes the top or measures the base alone, depending on the collection. The collection groups whose footnotes say which are listed below, under the rule each one follows.
Height includes the top
“Altezza riferita con top” — the stated height includes the HPL or ceramic top.
The footnotes in Varaschin’s own words, Italian first: Altezza riferita con top Hpl e ceramica / Height reported with Hpl and ceramic top · Altezza riferita con top Hpl / Height reported with Hpl top · Altezza riferita con top Hpl e ceramica / Height reported with Hpl and ceramic top · Altezza riferita senza top / Height reported without top · Altezza riferita senza top / Height reported without top. PLINTO uses both rules on the same pages, so check each piece: see PLINTO in the catalogue.
Article codes
7 article codes in the catalogue.
The catalogue prints article codes for only 7 pieces, all on the spread shown below; everywhere else it shows drawings.
Pieces without a code are listed by name where Varaschin names them, and otherwise by the type the catalogue’s own captions give, such as “dining armchair”. Ask us to confirm the code of any piece before you order.
Finish & textile
31 finishes, 53 swatch labels.
Varaschin names its colours in two places: on each collection’s own pages, and in a chapter of 10 themed colour boards at the back of the catalogue. The finishes fall into 12 families as the catalogue heads them, and the boards carry 46 colour names between them.
Varaschin’s catalogue gives no mill, grade or customer’s-own-material policy for these fabrics, so ask us before you specify one. The full list of colour names is further down the page. Open the colour chapter.

How this book is paginated3 chapters · printed 002–672 across 338 spreads
| Chapter | Starts at printed page | Read |

Every render page in this catalogue is a 2-up printed spread. printed_left = 2 x render - 4 and printed_right = 2 x render - 3. Verified at p170 (336-337), p204 (404-405), p308 (612-613), p328 (652-653) and p338 (672, a single page). All 'page' fields in this shard are RENDER page numbers; printed pairs are noted in product notes.
So the reader runs to p.338 while the book runs to printed 672 — the same paper counted two ways. Printed folios begin at 002 on p.3; the cover and the opening manifesto carry no folio at all. Every plate on this page names its printed folios (printed 002–003, and so on), and every “p.” link is a reader page.
Read in two passes. Render pages 1–169: 12 collections, 157 rows. Render pages 170–338: 26 collections, 147 rows. Both passes swept every page for price content and found none, which is why no page of this edition is withheld from the reader.

| 22813S | BARCODE | divano componibile / modular sofa compositionRender p159 (printed 314-315), headed "modularita / MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS", is the ONLY page in render pages 1-169 that prints Varaschin article codes. Seven sofa compositions are shown, each with a photograph, its code, and a dimensioned elevation + plan. This composition: 180 seat span with a 90 element each side; elevation heights 52 (arm/low back) and 67 (back); plan 20 + 70 + 90. Overall width not printed as a single figure, so dims_cm.w left null. | 90 180 90 52 67 20 70 90 |

- modularita / MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS (BARCODE)
- BARCODE's equivalent spread, render p159 (printed 314-315), DOES print article codes: seven compositions each with a photograph, a code (22813S, 22816S, 22843S, 22841S, 22842S, 22832S, 22834S), a dimensioned elevation and a dimensioned plan. This is the only source of Varaschin article codes anywhere in render pages 1-169. p.159
The height footnotes, and the low-dining indices3 printed indices · 24 entries
- Altezza riferita con top Hpl e ceramica / Height reported with Hpl and ceramic top
- Footnote governing how table heights are stated. Printed on the EMMA opener (render p004), TIBIDABO opener (p051), SYSTEM STAR opener (p136) and SYSTEM opener (p144). Any table height in those collections presumes an Hpl or ceramic top is fitted. p.4
- Altezza riferita senza top / Height reported without top
- The OPPOSITE convention, and a trap for anyone merging the two: on the SUMMER SET opener (render p095) the table drawings dimension the BASE ONLY and the stated height EXCLUDES the top. SUMMER SET table heights are therefore not directly comparable with EMMA/TIBIDABO/SYSTEM/SYSTEM STAR table heights. p.95
- Varaschin dimension-icon grammar — seating
- Seating dimensions are printed as unlabelled callouts around two pictograms. FRONT-VIEW icon: number BELOW = width, number at the RIGHT = seat height. SIDE-VIEW icon: number BELOW = depth, number at the TOP = total height, number at the RIGHT = arm height. Verified three ways: (a) internal consistency — NOSS standard vs NOSS Low and SMART poltroncina vs poltroncina low each differ by exactly -5 cm on seat/total/arm with width and depth unchanged; (b) fully legible large-format grids; (c) exact multiset checksums, where a proposed per-group decomposition is accepted only if its token multiset exactly reconstructs the page's text-layer multiset. p.170
- Varaschin dimension-icon grammar — tables and bases
- Table dimensions are printed around a plan + elevation pair. TOP-LEFT of the plan = length, TOP-RIGHT of the plan = depth, number to the RIGHT of the elevation = height. A BRACKETED value is the extended length of an extendable table, and the leaf size is marked on the dashed plan extension. Verified on the fully legible large-format grids LINK (p201), KOLONAKI (p280), BIG (p289) and DOLMEN (p300), then checksum-confirmed on every other table page. p.201
- Height convention — with Hpl top
- Printed footnote 'Altezza riferita con top Hpl / Height reported with Hpl top'. Applies to LINK (p201, p204), VICTOR (p211), ELLISSE (p273), KOLONAKI (p280) and DOLMEN (p300): the printed height INCLUDES the top. ELLISSE cross-checks this — the prose says H74 + top / Low H66 + top while the icons print 75 / 67. p.201
- Height convention — without top
- Printed footnote 'Altezza riferita senza top / Height reported without top'. Applies to the PLINTO base group (p250), BIG (p289), TIGHT (p305) and BLADE (p308): the printed height EXCLUDES the top. Mixing the two conventions across collections is the single biggest comparison trap in this catalogue. p.250
- Height convention — with Hpl and ceramic top
- Printed footnote 'Altezza riferita con top Hpl e ceramica / Height reported with Hpl and ceramic top', carried by the PLINTO coffee-table group only. p250 therefore uses TWO different height conventions on one spread — bases without top, coffee tables with top. p.250
The book gives the reduced-height programme a chapter of its own and closes it with 3 printed indices of low tables and low armchairs. Those lists are the book’s, in the book’s order, and they are the only place the word LOW is attached to a named collection rather than to a drawing.

Care and technical copy, transcribed with its page24 notes · 8 of them here
These are Varaschin’s care and technical notes, in its own words; the notes on heights, codes and colour are with those sections above.
- 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. p.4
- 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. p.155
- 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. p.89
- MODELLO REGISTRATO / REGISTERED MODEL
- Registration statement printed on the technical spreads of BALI BERGÈRE DECK RELAX, NOSS, CLEVER, LINK, BENTO, PLINTO, BAHIA, MAAT and KOLONAKI. SMART instead prints 'MATERIALE REGISTRATO / REGISTERED MATERIAL' (referring to VAR#TEX, not the model). p.170
- 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. p.204
- 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'. p.237
- 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). p.319
- COVER — protective covers programme
- Custom-made covers cut to the ordered sofa composition and produced at the same time as the sofa. 100% polyester, 180 g/m2, light grey, one side coated with acrylic resin, Teflon stain-repellent and oil/water-repellent treatment. Tested to UNI EN 20811 (water permeability): water column greater than 1000 mm. p.322
Varaschin’s catalogue gives no wind rating, warranty term, salt-spray figure or certification scheme. How these materials behave through an Australian summer is covered on the materials page.
Printed oddities, left as printed4 of them, each with its page
The entries below look like printing errors in the catalogue. Each is listed with its page so you can check it, and we can confirm any of them with Varaschin.
- PAVILION / PAVILLION
- The collection title on the page is set “pavilion”; the running head above it is set “PAVILLION”, with two Ls. Both spellings are the book’s; the title is catalogued and the running head kept as an alias. p.314
- LINK, three lengths in millimetres
- The extendable-table spread captions the three states “200 mm / 255 mm / 310 mm”. The dimension icons and the rest of the catalogue are in centimetres, so these are evidently centimetres — recorded as printed, not corrected. p.204
- BALI bergère, arm below seat
- The arm callout (40) is lower than the seat callout (45), which reads like an error until you look at the photograph: the solid-teak arm rail passes below the cushion top, left as printed. p.170
- COVER, “180 g/m²”
- An areal density of the cover fabric, not a product weight. It is carried as the printed spec and the weight field is left empty rather than filled with a number that would mean something else. p.322
