I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. We only could afford old sofa, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Walk through Brixton Market, vintage wingback smell of years. Not glossy, vintage style armchair but dem true. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. Mi remember one winter 1971, but It creak but it strong.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Brixton mash up mix, wid mismatched armchair. Dem soulless ting? Dem carry no story. Retro sofa last long. End of de day, mi always choose retro over new. So next time you want chair unique, stop an look round, and let it be part of your life.
