Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs, Sofas, And A Lifetime In London

I tell you, London change plenty but some tings stay same. The real ting never lose value. Back then, South London rough, shop at sofasdirect.com cold, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Step in Portobello, armchair wid leather crack. Not pretty-pretty, but dem honest. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It creak but it strong.

Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. Postcode tell story too. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid sofa in bright clash. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair hold family together. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. If you tink to buy quick, stop an look round, and watch it age same way as you.
