Mi name Varon, come London 1948. The real ting never lose value. Share space wid three bredren, unusual sofas but dat chair feel alive. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Step in Portobello, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem real. Long time before internet, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every scratch talk story. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Dat sofa part of mi life.

London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Camden clash colour, wid retro chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Dat nuh worth nutten. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you tempted by showroom, carry home accent chair dat live, fabric and leather couches watch it age same way as you.
