London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it told a story. During the heyday of Soho, you didn’t buy throwaway chairs. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. It’s in the sag of the springs.

I once pulled a Chesterfield out of a warehouse in Hackney. The fabric was stained and faded, but as soon as I sat down it felt right. It’s carried me through late nights and lazy Sundays. Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, couch armchair with deep sofas. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with upcycled seats. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. The catalogue stuff has no soul.

Accent chairs from another era age with dignity. They carry scratches like tattoos. At the end of the day, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. Furniture should live with you. Next time you’re thinking of flat-pack, go dig through a car boot. Grab a vintage sofa, and watch it age alongside you.
