I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. In the showrooms of Grosvenor, folk are not merely choosing somewhere to park themselves. Old families from Belgravia and Kensington, and they all want character. A velvet seat with history, never fails to speak up. A wingback ended up in a Belgravia study, and ten years on it looked better than ever. That’s the Mayfair way. They flick through glossy catalogues, but eventually they realise.

Cheap wood snaps, whereas real furniture stays. Every part of London tells a different story. St John’s Wood desires quiet luxury, with velvet chairs. Hackney raw, with retro mismatches. That’s the charm. Let me put it plainly, customers never forget the chair that mattered. You don’t get that from a catalogue. I still touch the arms of the chairs, unusual settees and high-end living room sets I know straight away. Old furniture lives. So when you’re tempted by the new, classic armchairs pause.

Choose a funky accent chair, and see how it shapes your home.
