Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. When it come to seat, mi know what last. Share space wid three bredren, but dat armchair keep we warm. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Walk through Brixton Market, you see retro sofa pile high. Not new outta box, but dem true. Back in de day, modern living room furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Cold, snow pon street, but It last twenty year. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid deep wingback. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair grow wid you. Listen dis, mi always choose retro over new. When you pass market, stop an look round, unusual chairs and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
