Detailed Merchant Portrait: Vinterior
TL;DR
Vinterior was founded by Sandrine Zhang Ferron, starting in 2016 with 12 London dealers and about 200 Mid-Century pieces - after she spent three months searching unsuccessfully for a specific vintage chair. Today, Vinterior is a curated marketplace featuring over 1,800 dealers from more than 30 countries.
Company History
Sandrine Zhang Ferron was working in finance when she was looking for a specific yellow chair to match the gold flecks in her cat's eyes after purchasing a home in London. The search dragged on for three months and occupied entire weekends - local antique shops were barely discoverable online. This frustrating experience sparked the idea: in 2016, she left her finance career and founded Vinterior with initially 12 dealers in London and around 200 Mid-Century pieces. The company has since grown significantly, from a handful of London dealers to over 1,800 curated sellers from more than 30 countries. In 2021, Vinterior secured Series A funding of approximately €9.3 million and partnered with British department store chain John Lewis for an exclusive in-store collection. The company has operated fully remotely since 2020.
Sustainability Certifications
Vinterior does not carry out physical repairs or circular certifications itself, but functions as a marketplace for verified professional antique and vintage dealers. This prevents counterfeit design classics from entering circulation. Strict merchant approval policies guarantee a high reliability of the listed vendors.

Who is Vinterior suitable for?
