From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Mi see chair come, chair go. Share space wid three bredren, but dat armchair keep we warm. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Step in Portobello, vintage wingback smell of years. Not pretty-pretty, unique armchairs but dem true. When London swing 1960s, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Retro keep history alive. Cold, snow pon street, but It last twenty year. Dat sofa still in mi memory. Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair.
Hackney raw, wid funky old frame. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa tell history. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, take armchair wid scar, unique chairs and watch it age same way as you.
