A Jamaican Cockney Tale: Why Retro Armchairs Still Matter

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but it scratch, accent chairs it creak, but it solid. Modern people love shiny tings. Wander Spitalfields, vintage wingback smell of years. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem honest. When Notting Hill riot cool down, people buy custom furniture designs to last. Retro keep history alive. Mi remember one winter 1971, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Dat sofa still in mi memory. London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid mismatched armchair. Modern flat-pack? Dem break quick. Old funky accent seat tell history. Call it what you like, mi love vintage over flat-pack. Before you click catalogue, carry home accent chair dat live, and watch it age same way as you.
