'When the Varius chair was about to reach its 25th birthday, the possibility occurred to me of designing a more economical and versatile version that would inherit some of its virtues; above all the ergonomics (which make the Varius a very comfortable chair) and its characteristic backrest (a good deal more handsome than the numerous feeble imitations).Building on these virtues which I was not prepared to forego, I have been able to design a family of chairs that includes: an armless chair, a light armchair, a swivelling light armchair, a high stool and seating in rows. All the four-legged chairs are indefinitely stackable in very little space. The chair bodies may be made of wood or plastic. The gas injection of the plastic ones was a challenge which, once overcome, has enabled us to avoid all ribbing both in the back and under the seat''. OSCAR TUSQUETS
