A Jamaican Cockney Tale: Why Retro Armchairs Still Matter

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat armchair keep we warm. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Go down to Camden, you see retro sofa pile high. Not new outta box, but dem honest. When London swing 1960s, Furniture was solid, stylish upholstered seating not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong. Dat sofa still in mi memory. Postcode tell story too. Kensington love velvet, quirky sofas wid velvet accent chair.

Hackney raw, wid mismatched armchair. Modern flat-pack? Dem break quick. Old funky accent seat hold family together. End of de day, mi back di old ting every time. When you pass market, accent chairs dig through retro, and watch it age same way as you.
