London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle fabric and leather couches smelled faintly of tea, but it had heart. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, an armchair wasn’t just a seat. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. That history clings to vintage pieces. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot.

Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but I knew straight away it had something. It’s carried me through late nights and lazy Sundays. Every borough in London has its own taste. Mayfair goes glossy, with plush seating. Hackney keeps it raw, with industrial armchairs. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Accent chairs from another era grow with you. They carry scratches like tattoos. Here’s the thing, 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, take a look at what’s already lived. Pick up a retro armchair, and let it shout London every time you sit.
