Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. Furniture? Chairs, sofa accent chair, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but dat armchair keep we warm. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Go down to Camden, sofa carry story deep. Not factory shine, but dem true. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Sofa stay whole family life. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Brixton mash up mix, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Retro sofa tell history. Call it what you like, mi back di old ting every time. So next time you want chair, take armchair wid scar, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
