Vintage sofas
A sofa sets the mood of a room, and a vintage one does it with more personality than anything fresh off a production line. Right now Whoppah lists 874 vintage sofas, with the 1970s as the richest decade, followed closely by the 1960s and a solid selection of 1980s and 1990s designs. Think low modular systems, curved leather two-seaters and generous fabric lounges that were built to be sat on for another fifty years.
Ligne Roset leads the pack with its soft, sculptural silhouettes, B&B Italia and Cassina bring architectural Italian lines, and Roche Bobois, Artifort and de Sede cover everything from French flair to Swiss leather craftsmanship. Designer fans will spot Mario Bellini and Patricia Urquiola among the listings. Leather and textile dominate, with velvet making a welcome comeback for anyone after a jewel-toned statement piece.
Every sofa is reviewed by our curation team before it appears, and most listings include detailed photos of seams, cushions and frames. Bid, buy now or ask the seller a question, then let insured furniture delivery bring it home across Europe.
A beautiful and comfortable sofa is perhaps one of the most important pieces of furniture in your interior. Reading the newspaper, lounging, taking a nap or snuggling up to your loved one: the sofa is the place to be. And we spend a lot of hours there, so it should be comfortable too. But the eye wants something too. At Whoppah, we have a very large selection of vintage designer sofas. There is a lot of demand for them, and there are a lot of sellers eager to get rid of their second-hand sofas. Vintage sofas come in all shapes and sizes. From Mid-century modern sofas to Scandinavian-design sofas.
What is a vintage sofa?
A vintage sofa is a sofa that has been around for a few years. The sofa is usually made of leather, but can also be made of fabric. The sofa has round shapes, slim legs and simple details. They are often made of steel or wood. The finish is often fabric or leather in typical retro colours such as yellow, brown, orange or green furniture. This gives your living room a huge atmosphere and creates a unique and cool look. The vintage sofa exudes character and is also very comfortable.
Vintage sofa: better for the environment
There really is no more beautiful sofa than a vintage sofa. By choosing a vintage sofa, you give the product a second life ánd you pay a lower price for it. In addition, buying a vintage designer sofa is an environmentally conscious choice, because that way no new sofa needs to be produced. Win-win!
Vintage sofa
Vintage sofas have been hip again for some time now. If you want to keep up with the latest living trends today, a vintage sofa is definitely one of them. A vintage sofa is a great furniture item to own. Owning a vintage sofa can be a great investment for your home. Vintage sofas are not mass-produced but often handcrafted. This means they are of higher quality and last longer than most new furniture. There's a reason why vintage sofas still look great after many years.
Buying a vintage sofa
Buying a vintage sofa is not always easy. It's not just about the price. You have to consider whether the sofa fits in your living room, how it looks and how comfortable it is. You want to buy something that will last for many years to come, so you can enjoy it and one day pass it on to your children or grandchildren. There are many things to consider before making a purchase. The first thing to look out for is the condition of the sofa. The other thing to look at is how much wear and tear it has endured over time. This will give you an idea of how well made it is and how long it will last if you buy it now. Vintage sofas are made of durable materials, such as: solid wood, stone, metal, glass, rosewood or marble. Vintage sofas generally offer you much more value for money, than new furniture.
Vintage leather sofa
Some people love having a vintage leather sofa in their home. It adds a touch of sophistication and class to the room. You can find them in many different colours, patterns and styles. There are also sofas that have matching ottomans that can be used as extra seating or storage for blankets, cushions and other items you need for comfort. Vintage sofas used to be handmade and not machine-made like modern furniture is today. This is reflected in the durability of the furniture, as well as the finish and embellishments. Dressing up your interior with vintage furniture and accessories creates a unique interior that you won't find anywhere else. Smooth leather is generally a solid type of leather for your vintage leather sofa set. It is the least processed of all types, making it a strong and less fragile material.
Vintage design sofa
A beautiful vintage designer sofa is indispensable in any interior. If the sofa doesn't fit in the living room, it will be somewhere else. It's a great addition to the design of your home. They have a classic look that can make your space more inviting, and they come in a variety of colours and textures. One of the biggest advantages of vintage designer sofas is that they are available in many different shapes, sizes and styles. This means you can find one that perfectly suits your needs. If you are looking for a way to add character to your space, vintage designer sofas are the perfect solution. They allow you to express your personality without having to spend too much money or time on furnishings.
How do I know if a vintage leather sofa is still in good shape?
Look at the seat cushions first, since they take the most wear: even sagging is fixable with new foam, but cracked or flaking leather is harder to reverse. Check the frame by pressing on the arms and back for movement, and ask the seller whether the leather has been conditioned. Light creasing and a soft sheen are normal signs of age on de Sede or Cassina pieces and usually add to their charm.
Will a vintage sofa fit through my door and up the stairs?
Measure your narrowest doorway, hallway turn and stairwell before bidding, then compare with the dimensions in the listing. Many 1970s modular sofas from Ligne Roset or B&B Italia come apart into separate elements, which makes delivery far easier. Fixed-frame designs need the diagonal measurement, so ask the seller if it is missing. Removable legs can also gain you a few crucial centimetres.
How is a vintage sofa shipped across Europe?
Sofas travel with a furniture courier who collects from the seller, wraps the piece and delivers it inside your home rather than at the kerb. The cost is calculated per listing based on size and distance, and transport is insured. Delivery typically takes one to two weeks between European countries, and the seller and courier coordinate the pickup slot through the platform.
