My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it had heart. When London was swinging, funky chairs uk a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the sag of the springs. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham. The legs were wobbling, but the weight told me it was the real deal.

That chair still sits in my flat. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Kensington loves velvet, with deep sofas. Shoreditch stays messy, unique armchair with bold fabrics. The contrast keeps it alive. Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Old-school sofas grow with you. Every creak is a memory. At the end of the day, retro style armchair armchairs will always beat flat-pack. 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 watch it age alongside you.
