Retro Sofas and Funky Chairs – A Real London Story Retro chairs and sofas have been part of my life for years. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. It weren’t showroom-perfect, but it was part of us. Back in the sixties, modern living room furniture meant something. Chairs lived longer than flats. You can feel it when you sit down. I once pulled a Chesterfield out of a warehouse in Hackney. The legs were wobbling, but as soon as I sat down it felt right.

Friends always fight to sit in it. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Mayfair goes glossy, with velvet armchairs. Shoreditch stays messy, with funky retro chairs. It’s the mix that makes it all work. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Retro pieces grow with you. They carry scratches like tattoos. When it comes down to it, retro wins because it’s real. Furniture should live with you. When you walk past a glossy showroom, step into a dusty warehouse.

Take home something with scars, and make it part of your story.
