From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Mi see chair come, chair go. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat chair feel alive. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not glossy, but dem live long. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Retro keep history alive. Cold, snow pon street, retro sitting room but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.
Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, accent contemporary chairs wid velvet accent chair unique. Brixton mash up mix, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi always choose retro over new. If you tink to buy quick, pick up sofa wid story, and make it tell your story same as mine.
