From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but dat chair feel alive. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Step in Portobello, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem live long. Back in de day, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi remember one winter 1971, but dat sofa warm half community.

Dat sofa still in mi memory. Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Camden clash colour, home seating solutions wid retro chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa hold family together. Mi speak plain, mi always choose retro over new. So next time you want chair, take armchair wid scar, and see it carry laugh and cry.
