Posh Corners and Retro Comfort: A London Furniture Story

custom furniture designs has been my bread and butter since the fifties. In the heart of London, people don’t buy just to sit. Young men with new flats, and classic armchair designs they all want character. A battered old wingback, tells the truth. A wingback ended up in a Belgravia study, and ten years on it looked better than ever. That’s what vintage means. They waste time with flat-pack, but they always come back. Mass production doesn’t care, whereas classic sofas grow finer. Every part of London tells a different story.

Kensington demands velvet, with velvet chairs. Camden stays chaotic, with colourful sofas. That’s the charm. Here’s the truth, customers never forget the chair that mattered. Glossy showrooms don’t sell that. I still knock on the wood for weight, and the real thing speaks. Vintage has truth. If you’re thinking quick buy, take a breath. Take on a classic wingback, chair retro and let it settle into your life.
