From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat chair feel alive. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Wander Spitalfields, armchair wid leather crack. Not pretty-pretty, but dem carry London inside. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Sofa stay whole family life. Retro keep history alive. Mi fabric and leather couches brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It last twenty year.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid mismatched armchair. All dem catalogue chair? Dem got no memory. Retro sofa hold family together. Mi speak plain, single long chair mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. When you tempted by showroom, retro sofas pick up sofa wid story, and make it tell your story same as mine.
