Description
In the artwork titled "Taberne" (The Losers), G. Tvermoes ventures into a realm where natural elements are transformed into symbols of resilience and introspection. Created in Denmark in 1977, this 72x52 cm collage composition emerges as a meditation on the transient nature of existence and the beauty found in overlooked fragments of the natural world.
The title "Taberne" immediately sets a contemplative tone, suggesting a narrative imbued with themes of loss, marginalization, or perhaps the quieter moments of introspection often experienced by those on the fringes of society. Within this evocative context, Tvermoes weaves together an array of found natural elements, including bark, bone, dried opium poppies, driftwood, and wood pieces, each imbued with its own story and significance.
Bark, with its textured surface and protective function, may symbolize the resilience of nature in the face of adversity. Bones, evocative of mortality and the passage of time, speak to the universal human experience of loss and impermanence. Dried opium poppies, with their delicate petals and potent symbolism, add layers of complexity, hinting at themes of addiction, escapism, and the search for solace. Driftwood, weathered by the elements and shaped by the currents of the sea, becomes a metaphor for the journey of life, marked by both struggle and transformation.
Within the confines of the solid pine frame, these disparate elements coalesce into a harmonious composition that speaks to the interconnectedness of all things. Tvermoes' meticulous arrangement invites the viewer to engage with each component, tracing the contours of bark, the texture of bone, and the delicate silhouette of poppy petals.
The choice of a pine frame further enhances the artwork's organic character, grounding it within the natural world while also providing a sense of containment and structure. In "Taberne," Tvermoes blurs the boundaries between art and nature, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and fragility of existence through the lens of found materials.
Ultimately, "Taberne" (The Losers) stands as a poignant reflection on the human condition, offering a space for introspection and empathy in the face of life's inevitable trials and tribulations. Through Tvermoes' sensitive curation of natural elements, the artwork becomes a testament to the enduring power of art to illuminate the hidden beauty found in the most unexpected places.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
