Why Retro Furniture Still Beats Flat-Pack in London I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and space-saving seating options sagging. It weren’t showroom-perfect, but it felt alive. During the heyday of Soho, people kept things for decades. You’d keep the same chair your whole life. It’s in the weight of the wood. I bartered for a sofa on Brick Lane one rainy morning. The legs were wobbling, but the history spoke louder than the flaws.
It’s carried me through late nights and lazy Sundays. Furniture in London shifts with the postcode. Hampstead stays calm, with grand accent chairs. Camden loves the clash, with industrial armchairs. The contrast keeps it alive. Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Retro pieces age with dignity. They remind us life isn’t flawless. Truth be told, retro armchairs will always beat flat-pack. Your seat should outlast the years. When you walk past a glossy showroom, wander a street full of second-hand shops.
Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your nights.
