About us
Making made simple
Variat provides more choice, allowing people to customise furniture to meet their exact needs, while helping manufacturers bypass traditional retail barriers. Our visual configurator, supported by the AI assistant, lets you see exactly how your choices affect the final product. Adjust dimensions in real time, swap materials with a click, and explore colour options until you find the perfect match. We're building a world where Australian made quality meets individual expression through simple, smart customisation.
Variat marketplace
Founded in 2025, Variat is an Australian online marketplace that makes ordering custom furniture as simple as regular online shopping. We're building a network of designers and manufacturers in Australia that can provide greater customisation and faster delivery than what can be achieved with imported products.
We believe in an Australian manufacturing ecosystem. By supporting local manufacturers and giving them the tools to sell directly to customers, we're helping build an economy where skilled jobs stay here and innovation thrives.
Sustainability
Variat is focused on sustainability, innovation, and local capability. Our process reduces waste, cuts shipping emissions, and strengthens the future of Australian manufacturing. All of our products are made to order in Australia, meaning there is no international shipping and we only produce what people actually want. Local production keeps transport distances short and supports skilled Australian jobs, while our digital tools help manufacturers work more efficiently and reach customers they can't access through traditional retailers.
