Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. When I was a kid my nan had this battered armchair. It was worn, patched, and squeaky, but it had heart. When London was swinging, people kept things for decades. You’d go second-hand different styles of armchairs instead of brand new. It’s in the sag of the springs. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. The fabric was stained and faded, but I knew straight away it had something.

Friends always fight to sit in it. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Belgravia keeps it polished, with deep sofas. Brixton thrives on colour, with industrial traditional armchairs. The contrast keeps it alive. 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 armchairs will always beat flat-pack.

Your seat should outlast the years. So next time you’re tempted by something new, stop and think of the markets. Pick up a retro armchair, and desk chair funky watch it age alongside you.
