I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. When it come to seat, mi know what last. Share space wid three bredren, but dat sofa hold story. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Step in Portobello, funky accent statement chair for living room bright like carnival. Not factory shine, but dem carry London inside. Long time before internet, Sofa stay whole family life. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi and statement armchairs brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, sofa funky but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.
Dat sofa part of mi life. Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Shoreditch wild, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Retro sofa last long. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you pass market, carry home accent chair dat live, and let it be part of your life.
