Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. My first memory of proper furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It sagged in the middle and smelled faintly of tea, classic armchairs but it told a story. When the East End was full of voices, you didn’t buy throwaway chairs. You’d hand down sofas from parents to kids. It’s in the creak when you shift. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot. It weren’t pretty at first glance, but you can’t fake that kind of comfort.

It’s carried me through late nights and lazy Sundays. Every borough in London has its own taste. Hampstead stays calm, with grand accent chairs. Hackney keeps it raw, unusual couches with industrial armchairs. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. Mass-produced pieces fade in months. Retro pieces age with dignity. Every stain has a story. At the end of the day, an old funky accent chair means more than new gloss. 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 see how it shapes your nights.
