Description
A fine, handsome and unique S33. Kudo leather sprung seat and back. Dated to the 1990s shipped in from South Africa recently but originally from Italy.
Kudu leather comes from the Greater Kudu, an animal that roams the woodlands of East & South Africa. Due to the habitat and its natural predators such as leopards, lions, African wild dogs, and hyenas, the Kudu will often graze sharp bushes that leave natural scars and scratches on the skin.
The Kudu is considered to have persisted in greater numbers than many other species of large antelope, due to its secretiveness and its ability to survive in undisturbed pockets in otherwise cultivated areas.
In South Africa and Namibia, they are highly prized for their meat and are culled regularly for export. Each animal is culled under license by local authorities in order to control their numbers and to generate income which contributes to the local economies and helps to finance the conservation operations of the game reserves.
Mart Stam
Mart Stam (1899–1986), born in the Dutch town of Purmerend, trained as a joiner and drawing teacher. He first worked in the Netherlands, later in Berlin and Switzerland in various architecture offices, including with Max Taut and Hans Poelzig. In 1924, he founded the Swiss avant-garde magazine “ABC” together with architect Hans Schmidt.
Stam felt an obligation to build and design rationally. Simplicity was not an end in itself for him. The visionary architectural studies he published made him internationally famous. In 1925, he began experimenting with gas pipes, from which he composed an innovative chair without back legs – the basic idea of the cantilever chair, which Thonet has been producing under various model numbers to this day – was born. In 1926, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe invited him to participate in the Werkbund exhibition “The Dwelling” in Stuttgart, where Stam created a row house with three units. He furnished two of them himself, and Marcel Breuer furnished the third. It was there that Mart Stam presented his cantilever chair without back legs – the prototype for countless cantilever chairs – for the first time. In 1928, he moved to Frankfurt am Main, where he tested the typification of cheap housing. In the winter semester 1928/29 he was a guest lecturer for urbanism at the Bauhaus Dessau. In 1930, he went to the Soviet Union to plan cities together with Ernst May (“Brigade May”) and his wife Lotte Stam-Beese. After refusing to plan a city in an especially inhospitable environment in 1934, he had to leave the USSR. In 1939 he took over the direction of the Institute for Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam. After 1945, he was unable to continue his former successes. In 1948, he moved to the east of Germany and became director of the Dresden Art Academy, and then of the Berlin-Weißensee Academy of Art starting in 1950. During the Cold War, the inventor of the cantilever chair without back legs found himself trapped between a rock and a hard place: In the GDR, Stam was considered a formalist with close ties to the Bauhaus, while in the Netherlands, where he returned to in 1953, he was viewed as a leftist reformer. From 1977 onward he withdrew to Switzerland. Stam was awarded the artistic copyright for the cantilever chair.

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.
