Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. The fabric was torn but held together, living room chair sofa but it carried memories. When London was swinging, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. Chairs lived longer than flats. You can feel it when you sit down. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot. The fabric was stained and unusual accent chairs faded, but the history spoke louder than the flaws.

That chair still sits in my flat. Every borough in London has its own taste. Kensington loves velvet, with deep sofas. Camden loves the clash, with mismatched sofas. The contrast keeps it alive. Mass-produced pieces fade in months. Armchairs with scars last decades. They carry scratches like tattoos. Truth be told, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. A chair should hold your nights. Next time you’re thinking of flat-pack, wander a street full of second-hand space-saving seating options shops.

Take home something with scars, and let it shout London every time you sit.
