This elegant pair of Italian Art Deco-style benches features a solid rectangular frame with a comfortable upholstered cushion attached. At each end of the structure, the benches are equipped with sturdy, functional legs made of ebonized wood, firmly secured in place. These benches were crafted between 1950 and 1955 in the Art Deco style by an artisan workshop in Cantù. This town, located in the province of Como in Lombardy, is renowned for its tradition in luxury furniture production. Cantù is considered an important center for furniture craftsmanship, with a well-established reputation for creating high-quality, designer pieces. Luxury furniture from Cantù is distinguished by its excellent craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of premium materials. The town also attracts internationally acclaimed designers and architects, who collaborate with local artisans to create unique, custom-made items. In designing these benches, the artisans sought to create two compact pieces with bold, simple lines, endowing them with a timeless elegance. The design balances austerity and rigor, while the extreme linearity gives the benches a dynamic and elegant character.
The benches were recently entrusted to an experienced master craftsman from Prato, who skillfully and precisely reupholstered the cushions by hand, using a very special fabric: a silk velvet Ikat in elegant, refined colors. Ikat is the national fabric of Uzbekistan, produced before Charlemagne’s conquest of the region in 329 BC. Uzbekistan’s trade economy has long thrived, thanks to the prosperous trade routes that crossed the legendary "Silk Road." Ikat (which means "cloud" in Uzbek) is a yarn-dyeing technique that produces extraordinary patterns with soft, blurred edges. These benches, thanks to their originality, offer a practical and visually striking solution for enhancing your home's decor. They are suitable for a variety of spaces: the entryway, the bedroom at the foot of the bed, the living room, or the study. With their soft and comfortable upholstery, they invite you to sit down and enjoy relaxing moments of comfort and leisure. Restored to excellent condition, the benches are ready for use. Dimensions: width 53 cm, depth 40 cm, height 44 cm, seat height 44 cm. For all of our shipments, we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, Styrofoam, etc.) to ensure the highest level of protection and safety for the items.
Seat Height: 17.33 in (44 cm)

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.
