VARIO by ZULUNA and Hörmann – where aluminium meets wood in a modern Garden Shed
The Spoga+Gafa 2025 trade fair, held in Cologne, is one of the most important events in the European gardening industry.
The event was organised by Spoga+Gafa, a brand known for organising prestigious trade fairs dedicated to garden architecture and outdoor living. The ZULUNA brand, with the technological and design support of renowned manufacturer Hörmann, presented the innovative result of this collaboration: the modern, modular VARIO garden shed.
The new design combines the aesthetics of natural wood with the durability of metal, meeting the needs of users who value both appearance and functionality. The result of combining the expertise of both brands is a year-round structure that fits perfectly into the latest trends in garden architecture.
ZULUNA and Hörmann – the perfect combination of style and technology
The collaboration between ZULUNA and Hörmann aimed to create a new generation of garden structures. The VARIO house is based on powder-coated steel profiles that can be finished with various wood or wood-effect cladding (e.g. cedar, grey oak, anthracite). This not only facilitates integration with the existing architecture of the house, but also ensures high weather resistance.
We wanted to create a product that combines aesthetics with durability. VARIO is the answer to the needs of modern users. It is minimalist but visually warm. And, importantly, it is 100% ready for the challenges of the European climate. — says Lukas Bertsch, co-owner of Bertsch Holzbau.
What is the VARIO house suitable for?
The VARIO house not only impresses with its appearance, but also with its versatility. Its modular construction and well-thought-out design make it easy to adapt to various needs, both recreational and practical. It is a solution for those who value multifunctionality and want their garden space to be used every day.
Thanks to its modern form and modular design, VARIO can serve many purposes:
- a home office in the garden – the perfect solution for remote working in a peaceful, green environment,
- a workshop or hobby room – for DIY enthusiasts, craftsmen and artists,
- a relaxation area or summer dining room – a comfortable place to relax with family or guests,
- a storage room for bicycles or sports equipment – a safe and aesthetic storage space,
- a yoga studio, a well-being area, etc. – a private wellness space in your garden.
The house is available in many facade and colour options, allowing you to perfectly match it to the style of your garden, terrace or building facade. Its aesthetic appearance and flexible form make it an alternative to a classic pavilion or pergola, especially in modern arrangements. VARIO is also an excellent choice for those who are wondering which pavilion to choose and are looking for something durable, functional and elegant at the same time.
VARIO – modern design, durable form
The VARIO garden house is more than just a storage room or gazebo. It is a structure refined in every detail, combining durability, comfort and aesthetics in one. Thanks to the use of modern technologies, such as powder-coated steel and replaceable façade panels, VARIO meets the expectations of even the most demanding users, both private and commercial. It fits perfectly into gardens of various styles – from minimalist to classic – and harmonises well with other structures such as pergolas, carports and wooden terraces.
- powder-coated steel frame,
- wood or imitation wood panels,
