From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Mi see chair come, chair go. We only could afford old sofa, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Walk through Brixton Market, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not new outta box, single long chair but dem true. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Sofa stay whole family life. Retro keep history alive. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, home seating solutions children jump, reggae shake wall.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, wid sofa in bright clash. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Retro sofa grow wid you. Call it what you like, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you pass market, take armchair wid scar, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
