From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs Vintage sofas just feel more real than anything new. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it was part of us. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, you didn’t buy throwaway chairs. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. It’s in the weight of the wood. I dragged a velvet armchair home from Camden.

The fabric was stained and faded, but I knew straight away it had something. That chair still sits in my flat. Every borough in London has its own taste. Chelsea leans plush, with grand accent chairs. Camden loves the clash, with industrial armchairs. It’s the mix that makes it all work. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Accent chairs from another era grow with you. They remind us life isn’t flawless. At the end of the day, an old funky accent chair means more than new gloss.

custom furniture designs should live with you. So next time you’re tempted by something new, go dig through a car boot. Pick up a retro armchair, and let it grow with you.
