Retro Sofas and funky chair Chairs – A Real London Story

I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it had heart.


During the heyday of Soho, funky sofas furniture meant something. Chairs lived longer than flats. That history clings to vintage pieces.

I dragged a velvet armchair home from Camden. Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but I knew straight away it had something. That chair still sits in my flat.

Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, with plush seating. Shoreditch stays messy, with bold fabrics. The contrast keeps it alive.

Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Armchairs with scars get better with years. Every stain has a story.

Truth be told, retro wins because it’s real. An armchair should hug you back.

Next time you’re thinking of flat-pack, funky sofa take a look at what’s already lived. Grab a vintage sofa, and let it shout London every time you sit.
