Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London
I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. When it come to seat, mi know what last. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat sofa hold story. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Step in Portobello, vintage wingback smell of years. Not glossy, but dem honest. Long time before internet, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Every scratch talk story. Cold, snow pon street, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.
comfortable home furniture change wid di street. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat carry life. End of de day, mi back di old ting every time. When you pass market, take armchair wid scar, and let it be part of your life.
