Growing up, there was a sofa in our house that had seen it all. It weren’t showroom-perfect, couch armchair but it felt alive. Back in the sixties, home seating solutions an armchair wasn’t just a seat. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. That history clings to vintage pieces. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning.

The legs were wobbling, but as soon as I sat down it felt right. That chair still sits in my flat. Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, with grand accent chairs. Hackney keeps it raw, with industrial armchairs. Every corner tells a different story. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Old-school sofas age with dignity. Every creak is a memory. At the end of the day, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time.

Furniture should live with you. So next time you’re tempted by something new, wander a street full of second-hand cocktail chair shops. Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your nights.
