Why London’s Finest Still Choose Retro Sofas And Accent Chairs

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. In the showrooms of Grosvenor, people don’t buy just to sit. Old families from Belgravia and Kensington, and they all want a piece that speaks. A velvet seat with history, carries the room. A wingback ended up in a Belgravia study, and ten years on it looked better than ever. That’s what vintage means. They look for convenience, but at the end they admit.

Mass production doesn’t care, whereas classic sofas grow finer. Furniture mirrors the postcode. Hampstead seeks calm, with deep seats. Dalston experimental, with loud armchairs. That’s the mix. End of the day, customers never forget the chair that mattered. You don’t get that from a catalogue. I still sit to see how it feels, and the real thing speaks. Old furniture lives. When a showroom tempts you, take a breath.

Bring home seating solutions something with story, and make it part of your Mayfair truth.
