Description
A unique chair with a concrete base, designed and built by Olbram Zoubek for the interior of the now defunct café U Zlatého Hada in Prague. The café was located at the corner of the streets Karlova and Liliová from 1974 until the 1990s, when the entire interior was irreparably damaged. The interior was designed by Ivo Loos and Jindřich Malátek, with sculptural work by Olbram Zoubek and Eva Kmentová. Zoubek was one of the most important Czech sculptors of the twentieth century, and he made significant contributions to the development of Czech architectural sculpture. He and his wife, Eva Kmentová, also collaborated on several public commissions.
The chair from the café has a concrete base resembling a coiled snake which was made in 1971 directly in Zoubek’s studio. The seat and back are made from steam-bent plywood with a walnut veneer, manufactured by Dřevopodnik Holešov. Unfortunately, the chair is not complete – the upper part of the backrest is missing. The padding is made up of several connected cushions covered in black leather.

The price is an estimate for the little chest U-458. The price can differ item to item and depends also on a shipping period.
The delivery company will contact you one day before the delivery to arrange the details. Please note, that they will deliver only to the first door of the building.
We always pack our parcels carefully, therefore the package is rather heavy and big (could be over 100 KG) and we seldom have to deal with damaged items. We kindly ask you to always check the package right upon the delivery. If you see something is wrong with the package, write up a complaint report together with the delivery company - on the spot. This step is very important because later complaints are often ignored by the delivery companies. Our parcels are always insured but any complaints must be immediately processed with delivery company. If you find your package is damaged in any way, please immediately take pictures of any damage. Take as many pictures and details as you can and send them to us, please. Thank you for your understanding and kind cooperation.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
