Growing up, there was a sofa in our house that had seen it all. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it told a story. When the East End was full of voices, high-end living room sets people kept things for decades. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the weight of the wood. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham.

Most people would have walked on, but I knew straight away it had something. It’s carried me through late nights and retro accent chairs lazy Sundays. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Hampstead stays calm, with velvet armchairs. Brixton thrives on colour, with bold fabrics. The clash gives it character. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Old-school sofas last decades. They carry scratches like tattoos. If you ask me straight, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time.

A chair should hold your nights. When you walk past a glossy showroom, step into a dusty warehouse. Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your nights.
