OUR STORY

About Us

A place to take stock?

Here are Retro Sential, we’ve identified, that as with all those who wish to save the planet in one form or another, we have a job to do too. So our primary aim is to save all of that furniture that has lasted for years, now termed as either Vintage or Retro or a combination of the two and to give them a new lease of life.

The real question remains; when you take the decision to send that, now old sofa to the recycling centre or worse, because it’s, with out of date or has seen better days, are you aware of its true potential?

In most cases, you’ll find that the replacement will, almost never be as well made as the one that you’re about to see the back of. You see, in the modern world of furniture construction, manufacturers are having to be, let’s say; somewhat economical with the production costs mainly due to the extensive competitive nature of the market place, which dictates it.

One of the main reasons for folks taking the option to dispose of that old; armchair, sofa or even dining chair, is because of the potential cost of having to get it reupholstered, repaired etc.

So, this is where we, hopefully come in. We want to dispel that myth and give you a chance to see how you can perhaps, re-love the favourite piece all over again, by allowing us to make you feel the same as you did when you first purchased it. Revitalise it, make it fresh and new, but above all, the centre piece of your home, office and anywhere you give it room.

And if we can’t do that, then take a look at our online showroom to see if there is anything that you may give house room to.

We do both new, handmade and above all a great deal of upcycled furniture from which is the basis of our business.

We have taken tired looking, vintage/retro and brought it into the 21st century, a lot of which you’ll see right here on our website.

Our aim, is to take our customers on our journey to do their bit on saving the planet, stop bolstering the landfill and if we can all do our bit, it could mean that one day everyone who buys from will inadvertently, be doing their bit, even if they hadn’t before.

So, what are you waiting for, start your green journey now!
