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. Back then, South London rough, cold, but dat armchair keep we warm. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Wander Spitalfields, sofa carry story deep. Not glossy, but dem live long. When Notting Hill riot cool down, people buy furniture to last. Retro keep history alive. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Postcode tell story too. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Hackney raw, wid upcycled seat. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Old funky accent seat last long. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you pass market, dig through retro, high-end living room sets and unusual accent chairs let it be part of your life.
