My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. The fabric was torn but held together, but it carried memories. During the heyday of Soho, furniture meant something. You’d go second-hand instead of brand new. It’s in the weight of the wood. I once pulled a Chesterfield out of a warehouse in Hackney. It weren’t pretty at first glance, but I knew straight away it had something.

It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Kensington loves velvet, with plush seating. Brixton thrives on colour, with funky retro chairs. The contrast keeps it alive. Showroom sofas don’t talk back. Vintage finds grow with you. They carry scratches like tattoos. When it comes down to it, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. An armchair should hug you back. Next time you’re thinking of flat-pack, stop and think of the markets.

Pick up a retro armchair, and let it shout London every time you sit.
