Why London’s Finest Still Choose Retro Sofas And Accent Chairs
My world has always been the shop floor, the showroom, the warehouse. Amongst the squares and crescents, a sofa is never just a sofa store.
Young men with new flats, and they all want character. A retro armchair, delivers precisely what they’re after.
I remember selling a Chesterfield to a gentleman from St John’s Wood, and he told me years later it was still going strong. That’s the point with retro.
They flick through glossy catalogues, retro arm chairs but at the end they admit. Modern things break, whereas vintage lasts.
Furniture mirrors the postcode. Belgravia looks for tradition, with velvet chairs. Hackney raw, with funky fabrics. That’s the charm.
Let me put it plainly, retro style sofa bed the right piece will define a home. You don’t get that from a catalogue.
I still walk my warehouse floors, and the difference is clear. History sits with you.
If you’re thinking quick buy, pause. Bring home something with story, and let it settle into your life.
