London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. When I was a kid my nan had this battered armchair. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it was part of us. When London was swinging, people kept things for decades. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. It’s in the creak when you shift. I bartered accent chairs for living room a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but the weight told me it was the real deal.
That chair still sits in my flat. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Belgravia keeps it polished, with plush seating. Brixton thrives on colour, with mismatched sofas. It’s the mix that makes it all work. Mass-produced pieces fade in months. Retro pieces get better with years. Every creak is a memory. Truth be told, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. An armchair should hug you back. When you walk past a glossy showroom, go dig through a car boot.
Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your nights.
