Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. Mi live top floor above de shop, but dat chair feel alive. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Wander Spitalfields, you see retro sofa pile high. Not glossy, but dem real. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, vintage style leather armchair Armchair pass from father to son. Retro keep history alive. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong. Dat sofa still in mi memory. Every area carry different vibe. Chelsea go fancy, wid deep wingback.

Hackney raw, wid upcycled seat. Modern flat-pack? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa tell history. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you pass market, dig through retro, living room chairs and sofas make it tell your story same as mine.
