Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London Retro chairs and sofas have been part of my life for years. When I was a kid my nan had this battered armchair. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, retro style sofa bed but it was part of us. Back in the sixties, furniture meant something. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. It’s in the sag of the springs. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. The fabric was stained and faded, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. You can tell the area by the chairs. Chelsea leans plush, with buttoned wingbacks. Hackney keeps it raw, with upcycled seats. Every corner tells a different story. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. cool armchairs with scars age with dignity. They remind us life isn’t flawless. When it comes down to it, an old funky accent chair means more than new gloss.

An armchair should hug you back. Next time you’re thinking of flat-pack, take a look at what’s already lived. Take home something with scars, and make it part of your story.
