Description
In the 1960s, at a time of great creative ferment, a furniture set was born that combined tradition and innovation. This set, consisting of two barrel-shaped oak armchairs and a matching round coffee table, was a tribute to the natural beauty and craftsmanship of the time.
The inspiration for this set came from the idyllic landscapes and wine traditions of the Tuscan hills. The wineries and vineyards, with their oak barrels used for aging wine, offered the central idea. The intent was to transpose that rustic beauty and feeling of warmth and coziness into home furnishings.
The Creative Process
**Barrel Shaped Armchairs:**
The choice of solid oak was due to its durability and the beauty of its grain. The chairs were shaped to evoke the curves of barrels, with a wrap-around shape that offered comfort and a sense of protection. Wood craftsmanship was key, with each piece carefully selected and processed to ensure superior quality. The interior upholstery was made of high-quality materials and covered in soft leather in shades that harmoniously complemented the wood.
**Round Table:**
The round coffee table was designed to create a visual balance with the armchairs. The polished oak top highlighted the natural grain of the wood, while the slightly flared legs, typical of 1960s design, gave lightness and stability. The simple and functional design of the coffee table made it a perfect complement to armchairs, integrating practicality and elegance
When the set was presented at a design exhibition in Milan, it immediately received great appreciation. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics struck a chord with critics, and the set quickly became a symbol of 1960s Italian design. He was celebrated for his ability to combine beauty and functionality, bringing a piece of Tuscany into homes.
Today, these armchairs and the round coffee table are considered highly sought-after vintage design pieces. Each element of the set tells a story of love for craftsmanship and nature. The armchairs, with their wrap-around shape, and the round coffee table bring a fragment of the Tuscany and elegance of the 1960s into homes. To own them is to have a piece of Italian history, a tribute to oak wood and the timeless beauty of good design.

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.
