Posh Corners and Retro Comfort: A London Furniture Story

Furniture has been my bread and butter since the fifties. Around these West End streets, a sofa is never just a sofa. Old families from Belgravia and Kensington, and they all ask for quality. A vintage sofa, never fails to speak up. I sent a set of accent chairs to a Grosvenor luxyry armchairs Square apartment, and the scars became part of the charm. This is why old beats new. They waste time with flat-pack, but eventually they realise. Modern things break, whereas real furniture stays.

This city speaks through its homes. Belgravia looks for tradition, with buttoned wingbacks. Brixton is bold, with retro mismatches. That’s the charm. I’ll tell you something else, a sofa becomes family. Modern factory pieces can’t compete. I still walk my warehouse floors, and the real thing speaks. Retro has power. When a showroom tempts you, living room chairs and sofas take a breath. Pick up a retro armchair, and see how it shapes your home.
