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.

Enhance the look and feel of your interior with this vintage cloud chair.

Textured, supportive and charming, this retro armchair is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and anywhere else you sit for hours at a time. The Ben chair’s relatively compact footprint means it will fit seamlessly into homes of all sizes; its high-quality build means it can remain a part of your set up for years to come.

Designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, this modernist lounge chair combines the work of two of the biggest names in late twentieth century furniture design. It has been re-upholstered in a camel bouclé to return it to excellent vintage condition.

Why we love it:

Too Many cooks? Nonsense. 

Three heavyweight designers (creators of the MOMA inflatable sofa) collaborated to create this distinctive sofa for LIgne Roset. 

This piece comes with a formed plastic base, topped with blue suede and leather throw for extra comfort. We've had the leather topper remade black hide in a matt finish. 

As if that wasn't enough it  comes with a footstool all made to the same high spec.

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 features brand spanking new upholstery in a flat, tan velvet. 

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.

Why we love it:

Multiple densities of foam and no solid structure.
That. That's why we love it. That's why it's insanely
comfortable and perfect for flexible living spaces.

Easily moved by one person, this is a great option for
those who need to change the use of a space to work
from home, exercise or do the hoovering. And more
so, the unfolding seat and back rest means you can
really kick back after either.

To summarise, this a great option for those who like to
keen their snace flexihle and moving

Reupholstered in a durable, blue velvet. The sofa is in excellent condition and ready to enhance your sitting situation.

Why we love it

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 reupholstered this vintage Cassina lounge in a dark, spearmint velvet, which we feel is both true to the era it dates from and current. We do think about things, promise.

Why we love it:

You haven’t seen too many armchairs that behave like this one.

The seat back of this vintage Italian armchair unfurls to create a neat headrest (and an entirely unique look) that we expect you — everyone — will love. We certainly do.

But the basics are there, too. The leather has been re-coloured and restored, the seat wide and the cushioning comfortable. Looks as good as it feels, basically.

This Maralunga chair is in great shape. If you’re into late twentieth century furniture, we have a feeling you’ll be into this.

Why we love it:

If ever there was a vintage cloud sofa then this is it. We would quite happily climb into this every day and let it give us a nice, warm hug forever and ever, amen. 

This Italian sofa also has some neat design features (as indeed all retro Italian lounges do). The low-profile and compact footprint mean you can bring it into the middle of the room; an exposed, wire frame makes this couch unique. None of your friends have one of these.

We have taken it upon ourselves to reupholster this curvy sofa in a cream bouclé. New and on-trend, basically. You can tell those same friends you did it yourself. Secret is safe with us.

This curvy sofa comes in its original, brown velvet which offers the perfect contrast to the chrome details. It may have been a few years ago, but they knew they were doing. Theres a couple of marks to the upholstery, but they are minor and do not detract from its knock out design.

Tall, Dark and well-proportioned. That's the saying, right?

A little more sophisticated than our usual finds, we fell for this little bloke when we found him in Belgium. 

Perfect for occasional seating, especially if you want to brood or assert dominance.  

This is a full leather arrangement. Know that there are sings of wear. Many would describe it as a rich patina but that’s a call we’ll allow you to make.

This vintage occasional chair with caning introduces Scandinavian modern to your set up.

Striking in its simplicity, this mid century armchair can be added to virtually any room. The lighter hues of the wood and the open-sided design mean this retro side chair can also fit seamlessly into even the most modest of homes.

Comfortable, affordable and built to last, this Scandinavian accent chair offers excellent value for money. It shows signs of wear commensurate with age but remains in very good vintage condition.

The Plona folding chair introduces the best of industrial furniture design to your home.

The Castelli Plona features the same economy that made the Plia foldaway chair a worldwide success. A sunken seat, however, negates the need for a backrest so this retro office chair/ accent chair is even more striking and compact.

Created in the late 1970s by Giancarlo Piretti, these vintage metal chairs are exhibited in the MOMA. This item shows signs of wear consistent with age but remains in very good vintage condition.

Why we love it:

We can’t be certain, but we have a feeling this vintage sofa was in Scarface. Okay, so we don’t actually have that feeling but we can picture it. This B&B Italia lounge presents 80’s excess but in a way that is very current.

The Baisity couch also boasts some unique design features. For example, the front is raised on castors, the back is lower than the front and it has floating arms at either end. All in all, it’s a strong look.

If you didn’t know, B&B Italia are a big deal in the design world. We know they made it because their logo is all over it. Nothing is a guarantee of quality but this comes close.

The sofa has been re-upholstered in a chunky check, but we've left the arms in the original leather and the floating B&B cushions to match.

The Kartell 4870 stacking chair brings colour, durability and space-saving design to your home.

The 4870 chair is built around how we handle stackable chairs. Two cutaways in the seat make these lightweight retro chairs easy to lift and safe to stack; a handle in the seat-back makes moving them effortless; removable legs mean you have options when it comes to storage; their plastic construction means they can withstand the rigours of extensive use.   

Created by Anna Castelli Ferrieri, this 80's Kartell chair won the Compasso d’Oro—one of the highest design accolades. Each piece shows signs of wear consistent with age and use but they remain in very good vintage condition.

Why we love it

If ever there was a one-seater sofa then this is it. No joke. You could easily lie across this if you were so inclined. It feels a little bit like being a very young child and sitting in a fully grown person’s chair. And we mean all of that in a good way.

The feet on this vintage armchair are worth a mention, too. By raising the bulk of the piece of the floor on a skinny frame, it stops it dominating the space into which it’s placed. It’s a neat trick.

This is a full leather arrangement. Know that there are sings of wear on the seat but there are no tears. Many would describe it as a rich patina but that’s a call we’ll allow you to make.

Vintage X-Line stacking chairs combine retro styling and design brilliance.

Practical, durable and eye-catching, the X-line chair makes a welcome addition to any home. Unlike other stacking chairs, the X-line is designed to slip on to the front of the chair below so you don't need to waste energy piling one on top of another.

The Nuova X-Line chair was created by Danish designer Niels Jørgen Haugesen and made by Magis. These items show some signs of wear commensurate with age (1980’s) but remain in very good vintage condition.
