Sector

Interiors guests notice – and operators appreciate.

From boutique hotel to eco-resort: we plan and supply interiors that turn a stay into an experience – while making operation and upkeep easier.

What we promise

What you can expect from us.

Design that defines the stay

Guests sense quality. A well-considered interior creates atmosphere, strengthens the brand image and brings guests back.

Built for daily operation

Surfaces that withstand cleaning, elements that can be replaced individually, and a system we keep reorderable for at least ten years. What is installed today can be extended in five years.

One point of contact. From start to finish.

Concept, furniture, installation – all from a single source. So you can focus on the opening.

Our role

Two routes, depending on the property.

Whether we take on the interior as a whole or support your interior architecture depends on the size and planning stage of the property. Both routes have the same point of contact: someone from the planning team.

01

Full-service interiors

For clients of smaller properties, holiday apartments and apartments

We take on the interior as a whole – for smaller properties often without an architect, in which case we are your only planner.

  • Floor plan optimisation and interior concept
  • Furniture-related HVAC, plumbing and electrical planning
  • Interior fit-out and renovation
  • Manufacturing, delivery, installation
02

Furniture planning and supply

For operators and their architects in large properties

We support your interior architecture and take on an agreed scope of supply – as one of several suppliers.

  • Furniture planning based on your interior architecture
  • Variand furniture, bespoke furniture, custom developments
  • Planning documents, CAD and pCon data
  • Series delivery and installation to the construction schedule

Projects

Seven properties, seven floor plans.

The Variand system in hotels

Where hotel projects get stuck – and what the system solves.

This is about Variand furniture on the wall rail, not the complete furnishing: three points where this system makes the difference in hotel operation.

01

The opening date is set, construction runs late

Interiors are the last trade and get the shortest window. Once the wall rails are installed, all Variand furniture is hung on in a single move: at Werk1, 60 apartments were ready for use in less than a week.

02

Forty identical rooms, and again in five years

What goes into series must remain reorderable – with the Variand system, within days. Modular down to the detail: individual boards or metal components can be replaced without swapping entire pieces of furniture.

03

Distinctive for guests, simple to operate

A room should have character and still be cleaned in twenty minutes. Because the furniture hangs on the wall rail, the floor stays clear: it is mopped in one go and nothing needs moving. We plan reach distances and storage with housekeeping, not against it.

Process

From the first conversation to installation.

  1. 1

    within 24 hours

    Initial meeting and briefing

    Floor plans, number of rooms, opening date and budget range help — but they are not a requirement. Even if not everything is available yet, we are happy to start.

  2. 2

    within 7 days

    Initial design

    An initial design, focused on what matters most for your project: floor plan optimisation, material concept or product ideas. It costs you nothing.

  3. 3

    in 14 days with a complete briefing

    Interior concept and cost estimate

    You see your interior before you have to approve it: floor plan options, material concept, visualisations and the corresponding cost breakdown.

  4. 4

    according to your construction schedule

    Manufacturing and installation

    Manufacturing in South Tyrol, site coordination, delivery and installation by our team.

Product development

When off-the-shelf won't do, we design our own.

Some ideas can't be found in any catalogue. We work on them with you, drawing and testing until they become a piece of furniture. For a particular everyday task, a tricky floor plan or a detail you can't get out of your head.

A continuous rail carries light, hooks and shelves.

Who we are

From furniture maker to complete interior partner.

Variand began as a university project and became the furniture brand variand.furniture. With every project the brief grew: from Variand furniture to further product developments and on to full-service interiors — from the interior concept through site management and interior fit-out to turnkey furnishing. For us as architects and designers, it is a return to what we trained in.
