From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

From thedeafguy

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. When it come to seat, mi know what last. We only could afford old sofa, but dat chair feel alive. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not pretty-pretty, but dem honest. Back in de day, stylish upholstered seating Sofa stay whole family life. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Cold, snow pon street, but It last twenty year. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Postcode tell story too.

Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Hackney raw, wid mismatched armchair. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi back di old ting every time. When you pass market, carry home accent chair dat live, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
