London’s Retro Revival: Why Vintage Armchairs and Sofas Still Rule I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and sagging. The arms were shiny from years of elbows, but it told a story. Back in the sixties, furniture meant something. You’d go second-hand quirky chairs for living room instead of brand new. It’s in the weight of the wood. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot. Most people would have walked on, but as soon as I sat down it felt right.
It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. You can tell the area by the chairs. Hampstead stays calm, with plush seating. Hackney keeps it raw, with bold fabrics.
