From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Mi see chair come, chair go. Mi live top floor above de shop, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Wander Spitalfields, sofa carry story deep. Not factory shine, but dem live long. Long time before internet, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Every stain show moment. Cold, snow pon street, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Postcode tell story too. Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, stylish armchairs wid mismatched armchair. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat carry life. Call it what you like, mi back di old ting every time. Before you click catalogue, pick up sofa wid story, and see it carry laugh and cry.
