Primavera 1912-1972: Atelier d’Art du Printemps
Primavera, “Spring” in Italian, was the first French department store to set up a creative workshop at the beginning of the 20th century.
The adventure began in 1912 with two Decorative Arts enthusiasts:
Pierre Laguionie (1884-1978), director of “Printemps” Department Store and lawyer René Guilleré (1878-1931), founder of the Salon des Artistes Dé-corateurs.
Their objective is to promote the craft of Art in the daily life of the French people on the motto of the beautiful and the useful.
Decorative objects and furniture (furniture, ceramics, glassware, carpets, up-holstery, wallpapers, etc.) must be beautiful, modern, of high quality and at affordable prices.
The studio acquired young decorative artists such as Marcel Guillemard (1886-1932) and Louis Sognot (1892-1969) for furniture, and for works of art and ceramics by Madeleine Sougez (1891-1945)active from 1920 to 1928, Claude Lévy (1895-1942) from 1919 to 1929, Paule Petitjean (1895-1989) de 1913 à 1929, Hélèné Gatelet de 1924 à 1930, Marcelle Thiénot (1907-1946) de 1929 à 1938, Charlotte Chauchet (1878-1964) de 1912 à 1939, Wilfrid Prost (1912-1945) de 1934 à 1941, Macé de 1922 à 1923, to mentioned only them among others. The passage of creators like René Buthaud (1886-1987) or Jean Besnard (1889-1958).
In the field of glass and ceramics, craft workshops are sought, such as Elchinger in Soufflenheim in Alsace, Paul Jacquet (1883-1968) in Savoie, Louis Lourioux (1874-1930) in the Cher, Lucien Arnaud in Saint Amand en Puisaye, the workshop Saint-Leu-La-Forest or factories (Long-wy, Quimper, Malicorne, Creil-Montereau, Sainte-Radegonde, CAB (Céramique d'Art de Bordeaux), etc.
A pottery purchased in Touraine also allows the production of tableware.
After the First World War, the workshop grew rapidly.
The 1925 Exhibition at the Salon des Arts Décoratifs allowed the public to discover the modernities of this workshop that improved everyday life and housing.
Events followed one another in various art and technology fairs, Sa-lon d'Au-tomne, Salon des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD)…
The 1930s marked a revival with the arrival of a new generation of decorators such as Colette Guéden (1912-2007) and Odette Lepeltier (1914-2006).
Colette Guéden entered the drawing studio in 1927, took the direction in 1934.She was artistic director of Primavéra from 1938 until 1972.
Following the Second World War, the period of reconstruction gave new impe-tus to the workshop in the 1950s and 1960s. Colette Guéden’s team, which is being strengthened with Alain Le Foll, Geneviève Pons… , also called upon outside craftsmen such as Pol Chambost (1906-1983), Madoura with Suzanne Ramié (1905-1974)…
The French artistic adventure ended with the departure of Colette Gueden in 1972.

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.
