Description
A stunning, rare and much sought after pair of professionally restored Mid Century wonders by three design icons: a ‘Sunburst’ rattan cocktail chair by design team Janine Abraham & Dirk Jan Rol, superbly accompanied by a Franco Albini ‘Lobster Pot’ ottoman footstool side table. Both made around the 1950s and in exemplary and beautifully restored condition, this superbly chic pair of design icons will add gorgeous colour, outstanding craftsmanship and strikingly stylish Mid-Century Modernist aesthetic to any setting.
CHAIR
Janine Abraham & Dirk Jan Rol formed their own design agency in France in 1957, a year after meeting, and went on to create unique sculptural pieces based on Modernist principles, such as their breath-taking and rare ‘Sunburst’ cocktail chair.
Made of rattan strips, which fan out from the centre and are bent to form the show-stopping rounded edges, this is a mouth-wateringly attractive, wonderfully eye-catching and extremely comfortable and generously seated chair. Set on the original tubular steel base, which has been sand-blasted and powder-coated to make it look as-new, the chair retains its original black plastic feet and will be a knockout inside or outside – wherever you like.
OTTOMAN
Franco Albini was a 20th Century Italian architect and design master and his ‘Lobster Pot’ ottoman is one of his most loved and sought after design legacies. Designed in 1951 after traditional lobster pots and made of bent rattan strips, which create a sturdy and compact footstool or side table, it’s a beautifully constructed, wonderfully playful and extremely aesthetically pleasing object. And when married with Abraham & Jan Rol’s superb chair, it creates ménage-a-trois made in European Mid-Century design heaven!
This is an outstandingly chic pair of rare and iconic 1950s pieces, which won’t fail to make an impact in any setting.
Condition report:
These are both in outstanding condition. Structurally sound and in virtually as-new condition, they have been expertly restored by one of the few UK-based master-craftsmen able to carry out such fine work. They can be used inside or outside but will weather if left outside for long periods and should be sprayed with water once a month in dry climates. If well looked after they should be just as appealing in another 60+ years – please see the photos.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
