1. what is retro?
Retro refers to bringing popular elements from times past into the present and integrating them into everyday life. This can happen in many areas, from fashion to music - and, of course, sofas. Current design concepts that incorporate vintage elements often pay homage to retro style. Retro isn't just old; it's design that looks old-fashioned.
But retro doesn't just mean clinging to the past. It also stands for a timeless and substantial look. Today, retro is more than just a "nostalgic design"; it's a timeless aesthetic that can be adapted to any space and taste.
