Retro armchairs for sale at Vinterior
Retro armchairs come from designers in the 1950s-1980s, and essentially include chairs which also provide a rest for your arms. From there, schools of thought vary. Some designers of the age included high-style cushioning, while others presented searingly modern pieces that you just know are retro when you see them. The retro design period typically covers anything in living memory, yet it can often be more closely associated with style from the 1960s through to the early 1990s, and it also includes other periods of design as well.
