Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. The family armchair was covered in throws but still solid. The fabric was torn but held together, unique settee but it carried memories. When the East End was full of voices, people kept things for decades. You’d hand luxury lounge seating down sofas from parents to kids. It’s in the weight of the wood. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot.

It weren’t pretty at first glance, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort. It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Hampstead stays calm, with deep sofas. Brixton thrives on colour, with bold fabrics. Every corner tells a different story. New furniture looks dead next to vintage. Vintage finds get better with years. They remind us life isn’t flawless. Truth be told, unusual settees I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time.

An armchair should hug you back. When you walk past a glossy showroom, take a look at what’s already lived. Save a battered seat, and let it grow with you.
