Description
Beautiful and extremely rare pair of sculptural form modular lounge chairs designed by architect, designer and sculptor Angelo Mangiarotti in 1969 for the 'Casa Vitale' in Milan, Italy. The seating that Mangiarotti designed for the 'Casa Vitale' was a unique , one off , artisan crafted edition for the home of his close friend Augusto Vitale, and hence was the sole edition of this beautiful Mangiarotti design .
This design is a true work of art, the interlocking seat cushion creates a wonderful and elegant sculptural interplay of volumes and proportion fitting of the fine sculptor that Mangiarotti was, a unique design and a minimalist masterpiece.
A few years ago we were lucky enough to buy a large portion of the seating from the 'Casa Vitale' house which we restored and sold on 1stDibs. We have now been lucky enough to acquire a few of the last remaining seating elements from this unique commission.
We finished restoring by carefully stripping these chairs right back to their bare bones, the plain orange fabric that the chairs were finished in when we bought them was not the original ie the chairs had been recovered once before, we found the remnants of the original two tone orange fabric, as originally commissioned ,still stapled around the edges of each chairs wood base plate, this earlier fabric exactly matches the other set we had and sold which stil had l its original fabric ,as confirmed by the Mangiarotti archive.
As you can see in some of the photos the old original 1960s foam is now yellowed, dry and crumbling , we used new Pantera TM foam to replace all of the old foam and newly upholstered in the same Danish 'Hallingdal 65' wool fabric (by Danish, mid centry designer, Nana Ditzel) that we used to finish the previous set of five 'casa vitale' seating elements that we sold a few years ago .
Please note if you find the seating height a little low for your requirements we can have the feet adjusted to a slightly higher height to accomodate.
Photos of the entire restoration process will be available to the buyer.
An almost unique opportunity to acquire a piece of history by one of the most important italian designers and architects of the 20th century.
Seat Height: 12.6 in (32 cm)
Condition report:
Good. Reupholstered. Complete restoration including new modern Pantera TM foam throughout and finished with new high quality Wool Danish 'Kvadrat Hallingdal 65' fabric.

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.
