From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Been in London from di forties, stylish upholstered seating seen it all. The real ting never lose value. We only could afford old sofa, but dat sofa hold story. Modern people love shiny tings. Any London market you choose, armchair wid leather crack. Not pretty-pretty, but dem true. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every scratch talk story. Cold, snow pon street, but It last twenty year. Dat sofa part of mi life. Every area carry different vibe.
Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, chairs for living room leather wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Dem carry no story. Vintage chair last long. Truth be told, mi always choose retro over new. When you tempted by showroom, funky arm chair take armchair wid scar, and let it be part of your life.
