Vintage furniture and design
Vintage design is the shortcut to a home that looks lived in rather than bought in one afternoon. A 1960s Knoll lounge chair, a Vitra classic with the patina only decades can give, a Cassina piece that has already outlasted three trends: these are objects that carry a story into your living room. Right now there are 70,076 vintage items live on Whoppah, spanning furniture, lighting, decoration and tableware, and the mix shifts every day as sellers across Europe list new finds.
The 1960s and 1970s dominate the range, with a strong showing from the 1980s and a growing appetite for brutalist and postmodern pieces. Expect solid wood, chromed metal, glass and leather rather than veneer and foam, plus names like Thonet, Ligne Roset, B&B Italia and Herman Miller alongside designer signatures from Eames, Panton and Wegner.
Every listing is reviewed by our curation team before it goes live, so what you see has been checked for authenticity and condition. You can bid or buy now, and insured shipping across Europe means a Danish sideboard or an Italian floor lamp reaches you in one piece.
Why buy new designer furniture, when there is already so much beautiful vintage furniture in the world? Opt for cool used vintage furniture and give your interior some extra flair with the retro look. Think of a beautiful, wooden liquor cabinet from the 1960s, a beautiful crystal chandelier in Hollywood Regency style or a vintage design table that wouldn't be out of place in a museum. Vintage design has a past and a story: each piece of furniture or interior item is unique, which makes for a beautiful interior and interesting conversation. Moreover, you consume in a sustainable way, which is better for the environment. It's a win win!
History of vintage
Vintage items are usually between 20 and 100 years old, and they can be recognized by their authentic style and craftsmanship. Vintage furniture and decoration are not only second-hand, but they also have a very good quality that lasts for years that sets them apart from contemporary products. They are often considered collector's items because they have a story to tell and offer a glimpse of another era.
Popularity of vintage
The popularity of vintage can be explained by several factors. First, vintage items are very durable. Reusing vintage items eliminates waste. Second, there is the unique look of vintage items.

What is vintage design?
Vintage design is a decorative style that has been around for centuries. It is a form of art from the past and an expression of the history and culture of the people who lived then. It has a lot to offer. The concept of vintage design has been around for more than a century. It is characterized by a sense of warmth, nostalgia and history. The old-fashioned charm and authenticity is what makes this style so popular. Vintage also often has high quality. It is not a disposable item. Vintage is durable and aims to last for years.
What does vintage designer furniture cost on average?
The cost of this type of furniture depends on the condition and rarity of the piece. With vintage, the principle of supply and demand prevails. It determines whether prices will rise or fall. If demand increases, the vintage items in question will rise in price. If supply is very limited compared to demand, prices will rise even more sharply. Demand is often influenced by taste and fashion. If vintage products lend themselves well to collecting, the value is more likely to increase. Collectors often collect large numbers of such items, reducing availability on the market. This creates scarcity and increases in price. Celebrities can also influence the popularity of vintage items. The value of vintage can also change due to reproductions from the same manufacturer. If a manufacturer decides to re-produce a popular vintage item, this can help lower the price of the original vintage model.
Which eras are most common in vintage design on Whoppah?
The 1960s lead by a clear margin, followed by the 1980s and 1970s, which is where most mid-century and space-age pieces sit. Brutalist and postmodern items form a smaller but lively niche, and the 1990s are starting to appear as that decade crosses the informal thirty-year line. Filter by era on any category page to narrow the field, or browse by material if you already know you want teak, chrome or glass.
How can I tell a genuine Knoll, Vitra or Cassina piece from a copy?
Start with the maker's mark: Knoll uses labels and stamped frames, Vitra attaches metal or printed plates under the seat, and Cassina numbers its authorised classics and often adds a signature. Ask the seller for close-up photos of these spots before you bid. Our curators also review each listing, so a piece described as original has already passed a first check, but documented provenance such as receipts or catalogue references always adds confidence.
How does insured delivery work for large vintage furniture?
Smaller items usually travel by parcel, while sofas, cabinets and dining tables go with a specialised furniture courier who collects from the seller and delivers to your door. Shipping is insured, so damage in transit is covered, and the cost is shown on the listing before you commit. Many sellers also offer local pickup if you prefer to see the piece in person first.
