Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. The real ting never lose value. Back then, South London rough, cold, but seat crack but it never mash up. Modern people love shiny tings. Step in Portobello, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem honest. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every scratch talk story. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, quirky chairs for living room but Everybody sit pon it.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid mismatched armchair. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair hold family together. Truth be told, mi back di old ting every time. Before you click catalogue, carry home accent chair dat live, fabric and leather couches let it shout London and Jamaica both.
