Description
Throughout the 20th century, and particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, Italian design reached its pinnacle of stylishness. By that point, the phrases "Bel Design" and "Linea Italiana" entered the lexicon of furniture design. The 1970s was a decade of mass production and innovation that signalled the end of the post-war rebuilding programme. However, unique designs and the overflow of creativity were still just as present, giving birth to outstanding pieces such as this set of 'Calida' lounge chairs.
Following the economic boom of the 1950s, the motto “design dictates, users follow” was the matrix of mass consumption society in Italy. Against this idea, the artists and designers of the coming decades defended a conception of design as an ecosystem that stressed the notion of play within everyday life. As a result, now-iconic design were created, such as the 'Sacco Bean Bag Chair' by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini, and Franco Teodoro in 1968, and Joe Colombo’s 'Tube Chair'. These upholstered 'Calida' chairs are much in the vein of these models, showcasing a break from the strictly functional, often rigid forms of the era. The defining feature of this model are the large upholstered bodies, with the design expressing stylish playfulness and comfort. This set is in perfect visual balance thanks to the carefully measured proportions of the plush seat and backrest. In the absence of arms, the chairs remain very open and light, despite the dark upholstery. Without any ornamentation, the focus remains on the curved, flowing lines of the bodies. From the muted colour scheme to the material choices, this streamlined set is essentially mid-century modern and can add that cosy charm into any space.
These 'Calida' lounge chairs effortlessly showcase a design philosophy that was rooted in the principles of functionality, comfort, and Italian elegance. Though many mid-century Italian designers may not have the same recognition as some of their Scandinavian counterparts, they were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe. The appreciation for their contribution is still growing today, making outstanding Italian pieces like these lounge chairs highly sought after.

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.
