Go down to Camden, funky chairs for living room vintage wingback smell of years. Not factory shine, but dem carry London inside. Back in de day, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, sofas and armchairs uk wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid sofa in bright clash. Modern flat-pack? Dem break quick. Old funky unusual accent chairs seat carry life. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. So next time you want chair, pick up sofa wid story, and watch it age same way as you.
