From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. When it come to seat, mi know what last. Mi live top floor above de shop, but seat crack but it never mash up. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Step in Portobello, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not glossy, but dem real. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Sofa stay whole family life. Retro keep history alive. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong.
Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Shoreditch wild, previous wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat last long. End of de day, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, take armchair wid scar, and see it carry laugh and cry.
