Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. The real ting never lose value. Mi live top floor armchairs vintage design above de shop, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Walk through Brixton Market, home seating solutions vintage wingback smell of years. Not factory shine, but dem honest. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but dat sofa warm half community.

Dat sofa part of mi life. Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid deep wingback. Camden clash colour, wid mismatched armchair. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Vintage chair hold family together. Truth be told, mi back di old ting every time. When you tempted by showroom, dig through retro, and see it carry laugh and cry.
