A Jamaican Cockney Tale: Why Retro Armchairs Still Matter

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but dat chair feel alive. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Any London market you choose, vintage wingback smell of years. Not factory shine, but dem live long. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Cold, snow pon street, retro accent chairs but It last twenty year. Dat sofa still in mi memory. Every area carry different vibe.

Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Dalston funky, wid sofa in bright clash. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat carry life. Mi speak plain, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. So next time you want cocktail chair, stop an look round, retro style sofa bed and make it tell your story same as mine.
