Vintage armchairs
Everyone deserves one chair that is theirs alone, and a vintage armchair fills that role with more character than anything new. Currently Whoppah lists 1,931 vintage armchairs, with the 1960s out in front, the 1970s and 1950s close behind and a healthy slice of 1980s designs. The range runs from compact Czech bentwood chairs to sprawling leather club chairs and swivel loungers on chrome bases.
Knoll and Vitra bring the American and Swiss classics, Cassina and Ligne Roset the Italian and French comfort, and Fritz Hansen, Artifort, Thonet and Herman Miller fill in the Scandinavian and mid-century gaps. Designer filters lead you to Eames loungers, Jindřich Halabala's curved 1930s frames, Pierre Paulin's work for Artifort and Børge Mogensen's honest oak. Leather is the most common upholstery, followed by wood frames, textile, metal and chrome.
Our curators review every armchair before it is published, checking attribution and condition. You can bid, buy now or ask the seller for more photos, and insured delivery across Europe is arranged through the platform.

How to choose the vintage armchair that suits you?
Choosing the armchair that suits you is a personal process that depends on your individual taste, needs and the specific requirements of your interior. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect armchair:
- Comfort: Comfort is paramount when choosing an armchair. Try out the chair and check if the seat and back feel comfortable and provide enough support for your body.
- Style: Consider which style of armchair best suits your interior. Whether it's a classic vintage armchair, a contemporary designer chair or something in between, make sure the design matches the rest of your furniture and the overall style of the room.
- Dimensions: Pay attention to the dimensions of the armchair and make sure it fits the available space in your home. Also consider the scale of the armchair in relation to the other pieces of furniture in the room.
- Colour and upholstery: Choose a colour and upholstery that goes well with your interior and is easy to maintain. Consider whether you prefer textile, leather, or another material.
By considering these factors, you can find the armchair that suits you and your living space perfectly and that you can enjoy for many years.
How do I judge the condition of vintage upholstery from photos?
Zoom in on the seat front, arm tops and headrest, since these areas wear first. Look for even colour, intact stitching and cushions that hold their shape. Small scuffs on leather are normal and often add character, while tears, sun-faded patches or sagging webbing mean reupholstery costs. Ask the seller whether the foam or springs have been replaced, and whether the chair has lived in a smoke-free home.
Is reupholstering a vintage armchair worth it?
For a Knoll, Cassina or Artifort frame, almost always. The frame is the valuable part, and new fabric or leather in a period-appropriate colour can bring the chair back to the original look or take it somewhere new. Expect a professional job to cost several hundred euros depending on size and material, so factor that into your bid if the listing photos show tired upholstery.
How is a single armchair delivered within Europe?
Lighter armchairs on wooden frames often ship as a large parcel, well wrapped, at a fixed rate shown in the listing. Heavier lounge chairs and anything with a steel base travel with a furniture courier who handles the piece with blankets and delivers to your room. All shipping through Whoppah is insured, and sellers who offer pickup let you collect in person and skip transport entirely.
