I grew up amongst furniture, and I’ve never left it. Amongst the squares and crescents, customers aren’t simply shopping for funky arm chair wood and fabric. I’ve seen families walk in, and they all ask for quality. A funky accent chair, 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 the Mayfair way. They flick through glossy catalogues, but at the end they admit.
Modern things break, whereas old chairs carry life. This city speaks through its homes. St John’s Wood desires quiet luxury lounge seating, with mahogany accent pieces. Shoreditch is playful, with loud armchairs. That’s the reality. Here’s the truth, an armchair becomes memory. You don’t get that from a catalogue. I still walk my warehouse floors, and I know straight away. Retro has power. When a showroom tempts you, step back.
Take on a classic wingback, and see how it shapes your home.
