Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London Retro chairs and sofas have been part of my life for years. The family armchair was covered in throws but still solid. It was worn, patched, contemporary leather armchair and squeaky, but it was part of us. When the East End was full of voices, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the sag of the springs. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham. The legs were wobbling, but the history spoke louder than the flaws.

Friends always fight to sit in it. Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, funky armchairs with buttoned wingbacks. Hackney keeps it raw, with funky retro chairs. Every corner tells a different story. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Retro pieces get better with years. They carry scratches like tattoos. At the end of the day, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. An armchair should hug you back. So next time you’re tempted by something new, wander a street full of second-hand shops.

Take home something with scars, luxury lounge seating and make it part of your story.
