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

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. Amongst the squares couch and accent chairs crescents, people don’t buy just to sit. Old families from Belgravia and Kensington, and they all ask for quality. A vintage sofa, delivers precisely what they’re after. A wingback ended up in a Belgravia study, couch and accent chairs and the sofa aged but never gave way. That’s the point with retro. They waste time with flat-pack, but they always come back. Modern things break, whereas retro lives on.

Every part of London tells a different story. Belgravia looks for tradition, with buttoned wingbacks. Brixton is bold, with loud armchairs. That’s what keeps us alive. End of the day, an armchair becomes memory. Flat-pack won’t do that. I still knock on the wood for weight, and the truth tells itself. Vintage has truth. So when you’re tempted by the new, sofa vintage retro pause. Bring home something with story, and watch it age gracefully.
