From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. Share space wid three bredren, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Step in Portobello, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not pretty-pretty, quirky armchair but dem true. Long time before internet, people buy furniture to last. Retro keep history alive. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It last twenty year.
Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. Postcode tell story too. Belgravia love polish, unique chairs wid deep wingback. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Vintage chair hold family together. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. So next time you want chair, take armchair wid scar, and make it tell your story same as mine.
