From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Mi see chair come, chair go. Mi live top floor above de shop, but seat crack but it never mash up. Modern people love shiny tings. Any London market you choose, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem true. When London swing 1960s, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but Beer spill, children jump, quirky sofas reggae shake wall.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. London borough different style. Belgravia love polish, luxyry armchairs wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, wid upcycled seat. All dem catalogue chair? Dat nuh worth nutten. Retro sofa carry life. Truth be told, mi love vintage over flat-pack. If you tink to buy quick, pick up sofa wid story, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
