Vario’s icon is a space-creating range of tables that harmonises superbly with the modern view of transparent, spacious architecture. The architects Claudia de Bruyn and Achim Nagel have developed a system of tables that appears protective in open spaces and conveys a feeling of lightness and transparency in smaller rooms.

The icon is based on a clear modular system made up of different side elements, modesty panels and screens. Combined with a comprehensive selection of materials and colours, it can be used to create completely different spatial and atmospheric effects.

Materials with special characteristics make the icon tangibly different: the soft, hardwearing felt on the screens absorbs irritating noises and reflected light. The semi-transparent side panels in satinised acrylic feel light and restrained, and the option with the opaque soft-touch finish is pleasant to touch too.
