From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Mi see chair come, chair go. Mi live top floor above de shop, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, funky chairs for living room accent chair bright like carnival. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem real. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Sofa stay whole family life. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Dalston funky, cool armchairs wid sofa in bright clash. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Retro sofa hold family together. End of de day, mi always choose retro over new. When you pass market, take armchair wid scar, and make it tell your story same as mine.
