Description
Beautiful pair of restored sculptural form Italian lounge chairs in the style of Gio Ponti dating from the very early 1950s with beautifully hand crafted wood frames and sprung seats, the chairs are finished in mohair fabric with biomorphic form brass legs. The brass legs are stamped 'BREV' an Italian patent mark and are the same form legs that are found on several models of lounge chair that were fabricated by the Italian company ISA, Bergamo in 1950 including several models by Gio Ponti.
The form of these chairs is also very reminiscent of the lounge chairs that Gio Ponti designed for the Hotel Bristol Merano, we feel that these chairs are even more beautiful that Ponti's design.
We bought these wonderful chairs in Palermo, Sicily in rough condition, the chairs had been badly reupholstered in a brown leatherette where brass studding had been used instead of professionally stitched seams but the beauty of the form clearly still shone through so we could easily picture how beautiful they would be when fully restored.
Upon stripping these chairs back to their bare wood frames for restoration of the upholstery we discovered that these chairs had been recovered several times since the 1950s. After stripping down 4 layers of upholstery we eventually got back to the original layer and made notes of the original materials used. These chairs have undergone four weeks of concentrated restoration work in our upholstery workshop, begining by stripping the chairs right back to their bare wood frames and then completely restoring the upholstery and seat frames from the ground up using the original classic materials including a new Latex foam finished back and cushion then upholstered with high quality 'Musco' Mohair fabric by the Dutch fabric manufacturer 'DE PLOEG' (color code 01/00).
We have kept a full photographic record of the entire restoration process which we will make available to the buyer, please refer to the last few photos in the image section which document some of the restoration stages so you can get an idea of the amount of work involved.

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.
