Why London’s Finest Still Choose Retro Sofas And Accent Chairs

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. Around these West End streets, customers aren’t simply shopping for luxyry armchairs wood and fabric.

Young men with new flats, and they all ask for quality. A velvet seat with history, tells the truth.

There was a velvet sofa that went to a townhouse in Chelsea, and retro style settees the scars became part of the charm. This is why old beats new.

People wander past the big chains, but at the end they admit. Gloss wears off, whereas retro lives on.

Every part of London tells a different story. Kensington demands velvet, with mahogany accent pieces. Dalston experimental, with colourful sofas. That’s the charm.

I’ll tell you something else, the right piece will define a home. Modern factory pieces can’t compete.

I still touch the arms of the chairs, and I know straight away. History sits with you.

Before you make a mistake, step back. Choose a funky accent chair, and see how it shapes your home.
