Description
The "Irma" chair, designed by the renowned Italian designer Achille Castiglioni in the 1970s and produced by the esteemed Italian furniture company Zanotta, stands as a timeless testament to industrial elegance. It's distinctive features and unique aesthetic make it a coveted addition to any dining space.
At the core of the "Irma" chair's appeal is its black tubular frame, which proudly exhibits the industrial production techniques that shaped its creation. This design choice not only highlights the chair's manufacturing process but also adds a touch of sophistication to its overall appearance. The set being offered here comprises a remarkable ensemble of eight chairs, each possessing its own distinctive character.
Among the set, four chairs showcase a stunning patina acquired over the years, adorning sumptuous red ocher leather upholstery. The natural aging process has bestowed upon these pieces a richness and depth that only time can bestow. The remaining four chairs feature black leather upholstery, creating an intriguing visual contrast. Though the tubular frames of these chairs exhibit a slightly different hue, it contributes to an enticing combination that accentuates the set's overall allure.
Adding a touch of authenticity and charm, each chair boasts the iconic Zanotta logo, thoughtfully die-cut on the lower backrest. This subtle detail serves as a testament to the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, elevating the overall aesthetic appeal of the "Irma" chair.
Despite their age, the chairs are in good condition, displaying only superficial scratches and marks on both the leather upholstery and tubular frames. These signs of wear only serve to enhance the chairs' character, speaking to their longevity and durability over time.
The "Irma" chair, with its distinctive design, transcends mere functionality, becoming an embodiment of artistry and timeless style. This set of eight chairs offers an opportunity to own a piece of design history that seamlessly blends vintage allure with contemporary sensibilities, making it a truly remarkable addition to any discerning collector or design enthusiast's space.

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.
