Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. When it come to seat, mi know what last. First flat mi rent in Brixton, but dat sofa hold story. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Go down to Camden, vintage wingback smell of years. Not glossy, but dem true. When Notting Hill riot cool down, contemporary leather armchair pass from father to son. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but It last twenty year. Dat sofa part of mi life.

London borough different style. Chelsea go fancy, wid velvet accent chair. Shoreditch wild, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair grow wid you. Truth be told, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you pass market, dig through retro, and make it tell your story same as mine.
