Sector

Interiors you'll never want to leave.

Living is personal. We plan complete residential interiors – from the interior concept to bespoke furniture to the selection of the right designer furniture.

What we promise

What you can expect from us.

A concept, not a furniture list

Floor plan, material, light and furniture are developed together. You get an interior concept in which built-in furniture, design classics and lighting are coordinated.

Made to measure for every floor plan

Sloping ceilings, niches, load-bearing walls: where standard solutions waste space, we plan built-in furniture that makes full use of the room – made in South Tyrol.

One site, one point of contact

Kitchen, cabinets, lighting and series furniture all go through us. You have one conversation instead of five, and at the end someone hands over the home fully furnished.

Planning and project delivery

Where home projects get stuck – and how we solve it.

Three points where home furnishing usually becomes complicated – for private clients and for property developers.

01

The floor plan doesn't deliver what it could

Often it's not a square metre that's missing, but a different layout. We optimise the floor plan before planning furniture – and use built-in furniture and room dividers to create zones the shell doesn't offer.

02

Five trades, five dates, five excuses

Kitchen, joiner, drywall installer, electrician and furniture dealer have to mesh. We take on our scope in full and coordinate the dates so that delivery and installation happen in one sequence instead of five attempts.

03

Deciding without having seen it

An interior is a big decision based on plans. You see floor plan options, material samples, visualisations and the corresponding cost breakdown in advance – and only then approve.

Process

From first call to final fitting.

  1. 1

    within 24 hours

    Briefing

    Floor plans, usage requirements, budget range, schedule — helpful, but not a requirement. Even if not all of it is available yet, we're happy to start: in conversation we clarify what's missing and what's really needed.

  2. 2

    within 7 days

    Initial design

    A first 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 sign it off: floor plan variants, material concept, visualisations and the corresponding cost breakdown. We check requested changes for feasibility straight away — because the people who plan also manufacture.

  4. 4

    6–12 weeks after confirmation

    Manufacturing and installation

    Manufacturing in South Tyrol, site coordination, delivery and installation by our team according to your construction schedule.

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.

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.
