I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Back then, South London rough, cold, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Walk through Brixton Market, vintage wingback smell of years. Not pretty-pretty, but dem carry London inside. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. Mi remember one winter 1971, but Everybody sit pon it.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Shoreditch wild, wid funky old frame. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair hold family together. Truth be told, mi always choose retro over new. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, luxury sofas and let it shout London and retro style sofa bed Jamaica both.
