Lose Yourself In Deptford Market And You’ll See Sofas With Decades Of Life. They’re Marked And Scarred But That’s What Makes Them Magic
Vintage luxyry armchairs, Accent Chairs, and Sofas: Proper Character for Real Homes Vintage sofas just feel more real than anything new. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it felt alive. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, people kept things for decades. Chairs lived longer than flats. It’s in the creak when you shift. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. Most people would have walked on, but I knew straight away it had something.
Friends always fight to sit in it. Every borough in London has its own taste. Kensington loves velvet, with deep sofas. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with mismatched sofas. Every corner tells a different story. New furniture looks dead next to vintage. Accent chairs from another era grow with you. They’re not perfect, but neither are we. At the end of the day, retro wins because it’s real. A sofa should tell your story. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, go dig through a car boot.
Grab a vintage sofa, and let it grow with you.
