London’s Retro Revival: Why vintage style leather armchair Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule Retro chairs and sofas have been part of my life for years. 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, you didn’t buy throwaway chairs. You’d go second-hand instead of brand new. It’s in the weight of the wood. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. The legs were wobbling, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

Friends always fight to sit in it. Each district carries its own vibe. Kensington loves velvet, with grand accent chairs. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with bold fabrics. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Vintage finds get better with years. Every creak is a memory. When it comes down to it, retro wins because it’s real. An armchair should hug you back.

When you walk past a glossy showroom, step into a dusty warehouse. Take home something with scars, and make it part of your story.
