From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. The real ting never lose value. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat chair feel alive. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more on sofasdirect.com than gold. Wander Spitalfields, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem carry London inside. Back in de day, people buy furniture to last. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi remember one winter 1971, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Dat sofa still in mi memory. Postcode tell story too. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Hackney raw, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair hold family together. Call it what you like, mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. When you tempted by showroom, dig through retro, and see it carry laugh and cry.
