I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but seat crack but it never mash up. Modern people love shiny tings. Step in Portobello, sofa carry story deep. Not pretty-pretty, but dem true. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but Everybody sit pon it.
Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. London borough different style. Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid mismatched armchair. Dem soulless ting? Dem break quick. Old funky accent chairs for living room seat carry life. Call it what you like, mi love vintage over flat-pack. If you tink to buy quick, unusual armchairs carry home accent chair dat live, and let it be part of your life.
