연락처 : MS 이메일 : uta.clucas@live.co.uk London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. The family armchair was covered in throws but still solid. It weren’t showroom-perfect, but it was part of us. When London was swinging, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. Families saved for months to buy one piece. It’s in the creak when you shift. I rescued a battered armchair from outside a shop in Peckham. It weren’t pretty at first glance, but as soon as I sat down it felt right.

It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Chelsea leans plush, with grand accent chairs. Shoreditch stays messy, with funky retro arm chair chairs. It’s the mix that makes it all work. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Old-school sofas grow with you. They remind us life isn’t flawless. If you ask me straight, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time.

A chair should hold your nights. So next time you’re tempted by something new, go dig through a car boot. Save a battered seat, and let it shout London every time you sit.
