연락처 : XT 이메일 : lara_vosburg@bigpond.com I grew up amongst furniture, and I’ve never left it. Here in Mayfair, a sofa is never just a sofa. Young men with new flats, and they’re all searching for the same thing. A battered old wingback, retro arm chair never fails to speak up. A wingback ended up in a Belgravia study, and it carried his family through generations. That’s the Mayfair way. They look for convenience, but eventually they realise. Mass production doesn’t care, vintage style leather armchair whereas real furniture stays. The capital’s rooms all look different.

St John’s Wood desires quiet luxury, with mahogany accent pieces. Shoreditch is playful, with loud armchairs. That’s what keeps us alive. End of the day, an armchair becomes memory. Flat-pack won’t do that. I still sit to see how it feels, and the right piece never lies. Vintage has truth. Next time you flick through a catalogue, take a breath. Take on a classic wingback, and watch it age gracefully.
