Been in London from di forties, seen it all. When it come to seat, mi know what last. We only could afford old sofa, but dat sofa hold story. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Wander Spitalfields, armchair wid leather crack. Not pretty-pretty, but dem true. When London swing 1960s, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Cold, snow pon street, but It creak but it strong. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Postcode tell story too. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Dalston funky, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair carry life. Listen dis, bedroom chair vintage mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. So next time you want chair unique, stop an look round, and let it be part of your life.
