Why we love it:

This little lad arrived to us in bad shape, but with a strip down, foam and fabric we are delighted to offer this fully re-loved original.

It's a great size, a great colour and super comfortable.

If you frequent this corner of the internet regularly, you’ll know how much we love Magistretti and Cassina, but this design is a particular favourite. The seat back can be unfolded to create a headrest — and a totally unique sofa.

Well worth a look.

Add iconic Bauhaus design to your set up with the Cesca style chair by Marcel Breuer.

Made from chrome-plated tubular steel, solid wood and rattan, this vintage cantilever chair strikes the perfect balance between organic and durable. The shape of this frame, which boasts an economy that few can match, is as relevant now as it was when it was first devised.

Created in 1928, this design was hugely influential and is considered the world’s first mass produced chair. This piece was made in Italy, dates from the second half of the twentieth century and remains in very good vintage condition.

Why We Love it 

The striking shape of these two-tone, post modern dinning chairs is their best feature. The tip of the bent ply back, disappears into the seat and the black chunky frames.

Sound a bit serious? Well what if we told you they remind us of guitars and pianos and we think that's probably a good thing? Good.

 *Price is for a set of 4. Two sets of 4 available.

Why we love them:

This is the kind of vintage furniture we’re all about. Solid, Stackable and the colour is the best. Ever. 

While it’s true we don’t know who made or designed them, we don’t much care. Whoever it was did a sterling job.

If you’re in the market for the world’s most comfortable dining chairs then this set may not be for you. But if looks are important and you don’t anticipate using them for hours at a time, then you’re in the right place.

Seriously, though. Hard-wearing, bright blue kitchen chairs? Be real.

Why we love them:

Stackable chairs are good at the best of times. But, German made and linkable and not a train? Even better. 

The untraditional approach of beechwood and plastic makes them a functional and striking addition to any dining set up. Did we mention that they stack?. 

Sold as a set of four.

Why We Love it 

Chunky, sturdy and thoroughly reliable. Meet my dad. Joking, my dad isn't four chairs. 

We love the proportions of this dining chair set. A thick, turned frame and tapered legs, they really do look great with their bright green seats. 

The Chairs have a few marks and some signs of wear, but remain in a good vintage condition. Now that's more like the old man.

Price is for a set of four.

The Plia folding chair is iconic vintage Italian furniture, selling over seven million units since it was released in the 1960’s.

Stripped-back to the essentials, the Plia chair is a classic example of the efficiency of industrial design. However, this retro Italian folding chair still brings style, elegance and space-saving comfort to your home.

Created by the award-winning Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, the Plia chair combines the work of two of the biggest names in late twentieth century furniture. The chairs show signs of wear commensurate with age but remain in very good condition.

Why we love them

We’ll admit it. These vintage black stacking chairs have a certain arachnid quality. But we’ll also admit that we don’t know why that detracts from the appeal.

If you’re in the market for some unique, sturdy, stackable chairs then you could do a lot worse. If you’re into that end-of-century look then we doubt you’ll do much better.

There’s not much more to add except maybe for the fact that they look as good stacked as they do individually. Something to bear in mind if you plan on keeping them to one side when not in use.

Price is for a set of four.

Bold, striking and finished with unique, playful design elements, this item will become a feature piece in any room.

Why We Love it 

We’re not really into mentioning other brands on this site but this original T-Line chair is giving us the strongest United Colours of Benetton vibe (circa 1997). We sound surprised but we shouldn’t be — we chose to re-upholster it that way.

And we’re pretty pleased with how this bright green armchair turned out. We don’t imagine this is the sort of thing you’ll see often. Might be wrong but it feels unique to us.

The best bit? The T-Line lounge chair is actually super comfortable. A suspended seat means this is a place you could rest and/or work for hours at a time. All things considered… well, it’s just a cool chair.

Why we love it:

You can make your own mind up about the look of this 80's armchair (we wouldn’t have sourced it if we didn’t think it was special). 

What you won’t be able to ascertain from the internet is just how comfortable it is. Let us be clear about that: most enjoyable seating arrangement of all time.

The shape means this a suspended gig and that creates a feeling of weightlessness. You can gently bounce or rock until your heart’s content. Seriously, though. It's so good it's worth a weekend trip to Walthamstow.

All original upholstery. It’s never going to qualify as ‘like new’ but if you’re not precious this is a winner.

Why we love it

We were surprised to learn that this is a 60's armchair. Eugenio must have been ahead of his time because this is presenting us with all the curves we love from the vintage Italian furniture of a decade or two later.

There is no point in trying to describe this shape to you because we don’t think there is a word. But it sure is shapely and we’re vibing on it. A sprung seat means it’s not all style over substance either.

It currently features the existing upholstery. This is because we think it's amazing and we expect it would have cost a pretty penny. However, you have the option to make it new.

And in case you need to know, it sits on castors. Not sure why you would need to but we’re not here to get into that.

There is very little point asking us how we feel about the Maralunga because we will always source one when we can.

This vintage Italian sofa is an example of what happens when a designer and a maker who were prepared to take a risk combine to make something different. And we’d argue it paid off.

Each seat back can be unfolded to provide more support for your neck or just to create a really cool sculptural look. You probably know we’re all about that.

We’ve restored the original leather of this vintage Cassina lounge is both true to the era it dates from and current. We do think about things, promise.
