Lose Yourself In Deptford Market And You’ll Notice Funky Accent Chairs In Bold Fabrics. They’ve Aged In Public But That’s What Makes Them Magic

Retro Sofas and Funky Chairs – A Real London Story Vintage sofas just feel more real than anything new. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it was part of us. Back in the sixties, space-saving seating options a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. Families saved for months to buy one piece. You can feel it when you sit down. I dragged a velvet armchair home from Camden. The legs were wobbling, unusual sofa but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

It’s carried me through late nights and unique armchairs lazy Sundays. You can tell the area by the chairs. Kensington loves velvet, with velvet armchairs. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with funky retro chairs. It’s the mix that makes it all work. New furniture looks dead next to vintage. Old-school sofas get better with years. They remind us life isn’t flawless. When it comes down to it, retro wins because it’s real. Furniture should live with you. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, stop and think of the markets.

Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your nights.
