I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. We only could afford old sofa, but dat armchair keep we warm. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Go down to Camden, vintage wingback smell of years. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem true. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Armchair pass from father to son. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Mi remember one winter 1971, but It creak but it strong.
Dat sofa part of mi life. Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid retro chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Dem break quick. Old funky accent seat tell history. End of de day, mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. Before you click catalogue, pick up sofa wid story, on front page and let it be part of your life.
