Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. When it come to seat, mi know what last. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat armchair keep we warm. Modern people love shiny tings. Step in Portobello, sofa carry story deep. Not factory shine, but dem real. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Sofa stay whole family life. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Man look pon we like crazy, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

Furniture change wid di street. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid sofa in bright clash. Dem soulless ting? Dem carry no story. Retro sofa last long. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless accent sofa. Before you click catalogue, take armchair wid scar, and watch it age same way as you.
