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.

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.
