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

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. Here in Mayfair, accent chair and sofa people don’t buy just to sit. Young men with new flats, and they’re looking for custom furniture designs that will outlast them. A battered old wingback, delivers precisely what they’re after. There was a velvet sofa that went to a townhouse in Chelsea, and ten years on it looked better than ever. That’s what endures. They waste time with flat-pack, but eventually they realise. Fabric frays fast, whereas retro lives on.

Taste splits by borough. Hampstead seeks calm, with velvet chairs. Hackney raw, with loud armchairs. That’s what keeps us alive. Here’s the truth, customers never forget the chair that mattered. You don’t get that from a catalogue. I still touch the arms of the chairs, and the truth tells itself. Classic pieces endure. When a showroom tempts you, pause. Bring home something with story, and make it part of your Mayfair truth.
