Furniture has been my bread and butter since the fifties. In the showrooms of Grosvenor, customers aren’t simply shopping for art deco style settees wood and fabric. I’ve seen families walk in, and they’re looking for comfortable home furniture that will outlast them. A vintage sofa, tells the truth. I sent a set of accent chairs to a Grosvenor Square apartment, and he told me years later it was still going strong. That’s what vintage means.

They fall for fashion too quickly, but sooner or later they return. Mass production doesn’t care, whereas retro lives on. Furniture mirrors the postcode. Hampstead seeks calm, with plush sofas. Dalston experimental, with retro mismatches. That’s the charm. End of the day, a sofa becomes family. Flat-pack won’t do that. I still sit to see how it feels, and the difference is clear. History sits with you.

Next time you flick through a catalogue, take a breath. Choose a funky accent chair, and watch it age gracefully.
