I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. Here in Mayfair, buying is about more than comfort. Young men with new flats, and they all want a piece that speaks. A retro armchair, never fails to speak up. I sent a set of accent chairs to a Grosvenor Square apartment, and he told me years later it was still going strong. That’s what endures. They waste time with flat-pack, but they find themselves in Mayfair again. Modern things break, whereas real furniture stays.Every part of London tells a different story. Belgravia looks for tradition, srv482333.hstgr.cloud with deep seats. Dalston experimental, with retro mismatches. That’s what keeps us alive. I’ll tell you something else, accent chairs outlive their buyers. Flat-pack won’t do that. I still check the stitching for strength, and the truth tells itself. Classic pieces endure. Before you make a mistake, step back. Find yourself a vintage sofa, and see how it shapes your home.
