From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home seating solutions. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but seat crack but it never mash up. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Step in Portobello, armchair wid leather crack. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem live long. Back in de day, Sofa stay whole family life. Every scratch talk story. Mi remember one winter 1971, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid upcycled seat. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair grow wid you. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you pass market, dig through retro, and watch it age same way as you.
