From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Furniture? chairs with sofa, sofa, dem tings?. First flat mi rent in Brixton, patterned accent chairs uk but dat sofa hold story. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Step in Portobello, vintage wingback smell of years. Not new outta box, but dem honest. When London swing 1960s, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi remember one winter 1971, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Shoreditch wild, wid sofa in bright clash. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you tempted by showroom, pick up sofa wid story, unusual armchairs uk and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
