연락처 : FI 이메일 : eddy_havens@rambler.ru London’s Retro Revival: Why vintage accent chairs Armchairs and accent contemporary chairs Sofas Still Rule I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, but it felt alive. Back in the sixties, people kept things for decades. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. You can feel it when you sit down. I dragged a velvet armchair home from Camden. The legs were wobbling, living room chair sofa but the weight told me it was the real deal.

It’s become part of my story. Every borough in London has its own taste. Kensington loves velvet, with buttoned wingbacks. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with bold fabrics. Every corner tells a different story. New furniture looks dead next to vintage. Old-school sofas get better with years. Every stain has a story. Truth be told, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. Furniture should live with you. So next time you’re tempted by something new, go dig through a car boot.

Take home something with scars, and let it shout London every time you sit.
