Description
This is a large and massive coffee table made out of railroad beams. Made in France around the 1950's. It's so strong that it will last forever. Min two people are needed to lift it. Strong patina that warms up any interior.
L'architecture brutaliste est un style architectural apparu dans les années 1950 au
Royaume-Uni, dans le cadre des projets de reconstruction de l'après-guerre.Les bâtiments brutalistes se caractérisent par des constructions minimalistes qui mettent en valeur les matériaux de construction et les éléments structurels nus au détriment du design décoratif. Ce style fait généralement appel au béton ou à la brique apparents et non peints, à des formes géométriques angulaires et à une palette de couleurs principalement monochromes; d'autres matériaux, tels que l'acier, le bois et le verre, sont également utilisés.
Issu du mouvement moderniste, le brutalisme serait une réaction contre la nostalgie de l'architecture des années 1940. Derive de l'expression suédoise nybrutalism, le terme
"nouveau brutalisme" a été utilisé pour la première fois par les architectes britanniques Alison et Peter Smithson pour leur approche pionnière du design. Le style a été popularisé dans un essai publié en 1955 par le critique d'architecture Reyner Banham, qui a également associé le mouvement aux expressions françaises "béton brut" et "art brut". Ce style, développé par des architectes tels que les Smithsons, le Hongrois Erno Goldfinger et le cabinet britannique Chamberlin, Powell & Bon, a été en partie préfiguré par le travail moderniste d'autres architectes tels que le Franco-Suisse Le Corbusier, l'Estonien-Américain Louis Kahn, l'Allemand-Américain Mies van der Rohe et le Finlandais Alvar Aalto.
Au Royaume-Uni, le brutalisme s'est illustré dans la conception de logements sociaux utilitaires et bon marché, influencés par les principes socialistes, et s'est rapidement répandu dans d'autres régions du monde.
Les conceptions brutalistes sont devenues plus communément utilisées dans la conception de bâtiments institutionnels, tels que les universités, les bibliothèques, les tribunaux et les hôtels de ville. La popularité du mouvement a commencé à décliner à la fin des années 1970, certains associant le style à la décadence urbaine et au totalitarisme.
Le brutalisme a été historiquement polarisant; des bâtiments spécifiques, ainsi que le mouvement dans son ensemble, ont suscité une série de critiques (souvent décrits comme "froids" ou "sans âme"), mais ont également obtenu le soutien d'architectes et de communautés locales (de nombreux bâtiments brutalistes sont devenus des icônes culturelles, obtenant parfois le statut de monuments classés). Au cours des dernières décennies, le mouvement a suscité un regain d'intérêt. En 2006, plusieurs architectes bostoniens ont demandé que le style soit rebaptisé "architecture héroïque" afin de l'éloigner des connotations négatives du terme "brutalisme".

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.
