Description
A studied and flexible system for furnishing management offices, meeting and board rooms. Artù uses high quality leather and wood,
handcrafted with typical Poltrona Frau quality and attention to detail.
The collection includes conference tables, meeting tables, desks and cabinets providing a wide range of furniture for a modern
management office.
The Meeting Table tops simply rest on a steel beam connected to the legs.
The President Desk is the most sophisticated of the Artù range.
Although it uses the same mounting system as the shelves, it boasts a wider top, covered in leather and lightly padded,
with two openings to allow the passage of cables.
The Executive Desk top is fixed directly onto the beams.
The shelves are supported by two aluminum legs with a gray finish or covered in leather,
equipped with a bridge base to ensure greater stability. The cylindrical legs of all Artù furnishings are equipped with a support ring
tapered, the table legs can also accommodate a modern cable management system.
The tops are finished in wenge, the tops are always edged in leather.
Design Michele De Lucchi:
Michele De Lucchi (1951-) is one of the most important contemporary Italian designers. His artistic trajectory emblematically summarizes the trajectory of Italian design in recent decades: born in Ferrara, during his university years he was one of the leaders of the student protest and participated in the front row of an occupation of the Milan Triennale. Standard bearer of radical design, he was strongly influenced by the figure of Ettore Sottsass, who he would follow in his experimental experiences with Studio Alchimia and with the Memphis collective, of which he is one of the founding members.
His creations of the period are characterized by bold colors and deconstructed shapes, as in the famous First chair.
At the same time he approached big industry, establishing a close collaboration with Olivetti.
At the end of the 1980s he designed one of the most successful products in the history of Italian design, the Tolomeo lamp for Artemide
(co-signed with Giancarlo Fassina), which led him to win his first Compasso d'Oro in 1989.
It was just the beginning: three more followed in the decades to come, alongside collaborations with the most prestigious Italian brands such as Alessi, Alias,
Molteni & C., Cassina, Riva 1920, De Castelli, Listone Giordano Poltrona Frau and many others.
He also founded his own brand, Produzione Privata, dedicated to the limited series production of simple and precious furnishings.
In parallel his studio develops an appreciated international activity in the field of architecture,
creating works such as the Unicredit Pavillion in Milan or the Peace Bridge in Tbilisi.

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.
