From Mayfair With Style: Vintage Sofas and Armchairs That Endure > 자유게시판

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing in chairs and sofas. In the showrooms of Grosvenor, buying is about more than comfort. Old families from Belgravia and Kensington, and they’re all searching for the same thing. A battered old wingback, gives them that. 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 the point with retro. They look for convenience, but eventually they realise.

Modern things break, whereas old chairs carry life. The capital’s rooms all look different. Belgravia looks for tradition, with mahogany accent pieces. Shoreditch is playful, with funky fabrics. That’s the charm. Let me put it plainly, a sofa becomes family. Flat-pack won’t do that. I still knock on the wood for weight, and stylish upholstered seating I know straight away. History sits with you. Next time you flick through a catalogue, stop. Pick up a retro armchair, and make it part of your Mayfair truth.
