Furniture manufacturer Varaschin has unveiled the new Wellness Therapy range, designed by Italian spa and wellness architect and designer Alberto Apostoli of Studio Apostoli.

Customisable in terms of accessories and finishes, the new spa and wellness furniture collection comprises four elements.

Its core offering rests upon a minimalist-style upholstered lounger – offered as either a single or double bed.

On one side, the beds are equipped with an elliptical-shaped metal ring that envelopes guests in gentle chromotherapy light rituals. Meanwhile, on the other side, the bed rests on a stylish pebble-like side table – the Sasso – which doubles up as a digital side table as well as a striking design feature.

Designed to mimic a pebble smoothed by water, Sasso dispenses aromatherapy, chromotherapy and sound therapy treatments. Apostoli also created the table with a warming surface to heat herbal teas or drying towels.

All loungers are equipped with a cushion with rounded shapes and covered in smooth fabric which is available in three different textures, with a choice of 25 colour finishes. Clients can also customise the bed’s feet in either a clear plexiglass or lacquered metal finish, available in nine different colours.

In addition, both Sasso and the chromotherapy arch can be designed in different diameters and a selection of eight colours inspired by the colours of the earth and minerals.

Apostoli says: "With Wellness Therapy, I wanted to experiment with new visual registers that would represent my philosophy of wellness.

“In our collaboration with Varaschin, we share our desire to explore new models of wellness and the need to encourage a return to the rhythms and forms of nature, just as much as to the individual in all of their complexity.

“We designed a collection focused on maximising wellness through multisensoriality.”

The range is completed with the Lettino Relax sun lounger. With its curved lines, the bed was designed to offer an elegant relaxation product with an emphasis on linearity.


Supplier: Varaschin
