Been in London from di forties, living room chairs and sofas seen it all. The real ting never lose value. Back then, unusual accent chairs South London rough, cold, but dat chair feel alive. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Go down to Camden, you see retro sofa pile high. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem carry London inside. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Retro keep history alive. Mi remember one winter 1971, but It creak but it strong.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Furniture change wid di street. Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid upcycled seat. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Vintage chair carry life. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, stop an look round, and let it shout London fabric and leather couches Jamaica both.
