Why London’s Finest Still Choose Retro Sofas and Accent Chairs > 자유게시판

Furniture has been my bread and butter since the fifties. Around these West End streets, people don’t buy just to sit. Young men with new flats, and they’re looking for furniture that will outlast them. A vintage sofa, old fashioned armchair gives them that. I remember selling a Chesterfield to a gentleman from St John’s Wood, and ten years on it looked better than ever. That’s what vintage means. They flick through glossy catalogues, but eventually they realise. Fabric frays fast, whereas real furniture stays.

Furniture mirrors the postcode. St John’s Wood desires quiet luxury, with mahogany accent pieces. Shoreditch is playful, with loud armchairs. That’s what keeps us alive. I’ve learnt over years, a sofa becomes family. You don’t get that from a catalogue. I still sit to see how it feels, and I know straight away. History sits with you. Before you make a mistake, stop. Take on a classic wingback, and let it settle into your life.
