From Markets to Mansions: London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs Vintage sofas just feel more real than anything new. The family armchair was covered in throws but still solid. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it was part of us. Back in the sixties, furniture meant something. luxury chairs uk lived longer than flats. You can feel it when you sit down. I dragged a velvet armchair home from Camden. Some would’ve laughed at the state of it, but the history spoke louder than the flaws.

It’s become part of my story. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Mayfair goes glossy, with plush seating. Hackney keeps it raw, with industrial armchairs. The contrast keeps it alive. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Retro pieces become part of your life. They carry scratches like tattoos. When it comes down to it, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. A chair should hold your nights.

When you walk past a glossy showroom, wander a street full of second-hand shops. Pick up a retro armchair, and watch it age alongside you.
