London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage 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. The fabric was torn but held together, but it felt alive. When the East End was full of voices, armchair funky an armchair wasn’t just a seat. Chairs lived longer than flats. That history clings to vintage pieces. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. It weren’t pretty at first glance, comfortable home furniture but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

That chair still sits in my flat. Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, with buttoned wingbacks. Brixton thrives on colour, chair retro with bold fabrics. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Old-school sofas last decades. Every stain has a story. Here’s the thing, a battered sofa tells more truth than any showroom. A chair should hold your nights. So next time you’re tempted by something new, take a look at what’s already lived.

Grab a vintage sofa, and make it part of your story.
