Design
An item, in our view, falls under the category of design when the item is made by a recognized designer and is usually a custom or made-to-order item. The item is of high quality and only available in a relatively limited edition. The item therefore has a long lifespan and is often labeled as timeless. Examples of design brands on Whoppah are: Vitra, Cassina, Artifort, Leolux, Knoll, Pastoe, Minotti.

Vintage & antiques
Vintage items are designs made between 1920 and 1990. Items are antique when they are 100 years or older.

Art
Art includes modern and contemporary art: from lithographs and serigraphs by Karel Appel and Herman Brood, to glass art by designer Ettorre Sottsass, works by artists who are registered with the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History) or who have recently completed the art academy and works from emerging artists – our art experts assess these works based on professional development, participation in renowned exhibitions and gallery representation.
