From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. When it come to seat, mi know what last. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat chair feel alive. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Walk through Brixton Market, vintage wingback smell of years. Not pretty-pretty, but dem carry London inside. When London swing 1960s, people buy furniture to last. Every stain show moment. Mi and luxyry armchairs brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Furniture change wid di street. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Hackney raw, wid sofa in bright clash. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Old funky accent seat hold family together. Call it what you like, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you tempted by showroom, quirky chairs for living room dig through retro, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
