From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. The real ting never lose value. Share space wid three bredren, but seat crack but it never mash up. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Wander Spitalfields, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem honest. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, accent contemporary chairs Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi and comfort accent chairs brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.
Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Hackney raw, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair carry life. Listen dis, mi always choose retro over new. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, vintage style leather armchair and make it tell your story same as mine.
