Shokunin - The Varis Japan Story

In 2011 I was introduced to Varis and their unique way of making aerodynamic parts. Unlike many modern companies, they take a simpler more traditional approach that requires a high level of craftsmanship and patience. In an age were we want instant gratification, it was nice to see a group of craftsmen that believe in quality over outright speed. It’s taken me about 5 years to get everything I needed and figure out exactly how to bring this small piece together, so it feels great to finally be able to share it.
