Description
A superb pair of mid century Capella, two-seater sofas with striking teak frames and loose cushions.
The Capella range was designed by Illum Wikkelso for Niels Eilerson during the 1960's. It’s modular design means that, with the right components, you can create armchairs, 2, 3 and 4 seater sofas. This set offers the versatility of having either a pair of two-seaters or a three-seater and an armchair. The original foam cushions have been replaced to ensure that this stylish pair now meets with current fire regulation standards. We have also had a beautiful set of oyster coloured boucle cushion covers made to replace the original leather ones. Whilst the leather was in good condition (no rips), there was a distinct colour variation between the two sofas, presumably from sun damage, so they didn't sit as well as a pair. We will happily provide the leather covers along with the new boucle ones to enable the new owner multiple styling options and have include an image as reference.
The teak frames are a gorgeous mellow colour and are in fabulous condition. The open, slatted backs are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and as such they work particularly well in an open plan space where the backs are not hugging a wall.
Why buy us.... we are super stylish, perfectly formed and iconic in our design. Despite being over 60 years old we look fresh and contemporary and will look fabulous with most interior styles.
The teak frames are in good condition, there is always the possibility of the odd scratch or bruise commensurate with age but nothing that is aesthetically unpleasing or noticeable. The foam cushions have been replaced to meet British fire regulation standards, as have the cushion covers. Please study the images for a good representation of the condition. We have also included a photo of the sofas with their original leather covers which will be included as part of the sale (unless requested otherwise) and also one of the pair on location, from when they were used for a home styling photo shoot (credit to Phoebe Bostock)

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.
