London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. Growing up, there was a sofa in our house that had seen it all. It weren’t showroom-perfect, but it carried memories. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, you didn’t buy throwaway chairs. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the weight of the wood. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning.

It weren’t pretty at first glance, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort. It’s become part of my story. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Mayfair goes glossy, with buttoned wingbacks. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with funky retro chairs. The clash gives it character. New custom furniture designs looks dead next to vintage. Retro pieces grow with you. Every stain has a story. If you ask me straight, retro wins because it’s real.

An armchair should hug you back. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, go dig through a car boot. Choose a funky accent chair, and let it grow with you.
