Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Back then, South London rough, cold, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Any London market you choose, cool armchairs armchair wid leather crack. Not glossy, but dem true. Back in de day, people buy from sofasdirect.com furniture to last. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.
Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid deep wingback. Dalston funky, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair tell history. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. Before you click catalogue, dig through retro, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
