Why London’s Finest Still Choose Retro Sofas And Accent Chairs

Furniture has been my bread and butter since the fifties. In the heart of London, buying is about more than comfort. Couples step through the door, and they all ask for quality. A vintage sofa, carries the room. I sent a set of accent chairs to a Grosvenor Square apartment, retro sofagruppe and the sofa aged but never gave way. This is why old fashioned armchair beats new. People wander past the big chains, but they find themselves in Mayfair again. Gloss wears off, whereas real furniture stays.

This city speaks through its homes. Chelsea wants polish, with velvet chairs. Camden stays chaotic, with colourful sofas. That’s London. Let me put it plainly, a sofa becomes family. Mass production never delivers it. I still knock on the wood for weight, and the real thing speaks. Vintage has truth. When a showroom tempts you, step back. Pick up a retro armchair, and allow it to tell your story.
