A Jamaican Cockney Tale: Why Retro Armchairs Still Matter

Been in London from di forties, desk chair funky seen it all. Mi see chair come, desk chair funky go. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not new outta box, but dem real. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Sofa stay whole family life. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Man look pon we like crazy, but Everybody sit pon it. Dat sofa part of mi life.

London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid mismatched armchair. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa carry life. Call it what you like, mi love vintage over flat-pack. If you tink to buy quick, pick up sofa wid story, and let it be part of your life.
