More about the designer:
Breuer is a champion of Bauhaus design. He invented modern tubular steel furniture. Breuer studied at the Bauhaus in Wiemar. After a short stay in Paris, he returned to the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1925, where he designed his first tubular steel lounger. Its original design was used to equip the Bauhaus building, but the development of this design and prototypes was carried out at the Junkers aircraft factory. He decided to present his furniture on the market together with K. Lengyel at the STANDART Mobel company in Berlin (1926-1927).
In 1928 he left the Bauhaus and collaborated with W. Gropius in Berlin mainly on interior design. From 1928 Breuer designed furniture for Thonet, and after the purchase of Standart Mobel by Thonet (1929), his furniture was manufactured at Thonet. Until 1930, he designed a number of standard types of tubular steel furniture, which were copied and changed by many manufacturers in Europe. Between 1929 and 1930, Breuer's cantilever design was the subject of patent litigation with Thonet and Breuer on the one hand and Lorenzo and Stam on the other.
The German Supreme Court recognized the primacy of Stam's design, and Breuer lost the author's primacy to some of his cantilever chairs. In 1933, he won first prize at a competition for aluminum furniture in Paris with a new design solution that was an alternative to the cantilever pipe system. In 1934, Breuer went to Switzerland to work with Wohnbedarf in Zurich. In 1935 he emigrated to England, where he designed tubular furniture for the Ventris apartment in London, but his main interest at that time was plywood furniture in cooperation with the company Isokon. In 1937 he emigrated to the USA.

Can I return an item?

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.

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?

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.
