Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Mi see chair come, unusual settees chair go. Back then, South London rough, cold, but dat chair feel alive. Modern people love shiny tings. Step in Portobello, vintage wingback smell of years. Not glossy, but dem carry London inside. Back in de day, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but Everybody sit pon it. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. Furniture change wid di street.

Chelsea go fancy, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid retro chair mash-up. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa tell history. Listen dis, accent chairs antique mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa store. Before you click catalogue, stop an look round, and watch it age same way as you.
