I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. When it come to seat, mi know what last. We only could afford old fashioned armchair sofa, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Walk through Brixton Market, vintage wingback smell of years. Not pretty-pretty, but dem honest. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, people buy furniture to last. Every stain show moment.

Man look pon we like crazy, accent chairs antique but Everybody sit pon it. Dat sofa part of mi life. London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Old funky accent seat hold family together. Call it what you like, mi always choose retro over new. So next time you want chair, dig through retro, and let it be part of your life.
