Long time mi here, Brixton mi comfortable home furniture. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?.
Share space wid three bredren, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast.
Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not factory shine, but dem carry London inside.
Back in de day, people buy furniture to last. Dat’s why mi love vintage.
Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.
London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Dalston funky, wid mismatched armchair.
All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Retro sofa last long.
Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack.
When you tempted by showroom, pick up sofa wid story, and let it be part of your life.
