Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs, Sofas, And A Lifetime In London
Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but dat sofa hold story. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Wander Spitalfields, vintage wingback smell of years. Not new outta box, but dem honest. Long time before internet, people buy modern living room furniture to last. Retro keep history alive. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall. Mi can smell the leather now.
Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Brixton mash up mix, wid sofa in bright clash. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Vintage chair grow wid you. Listen dis, single long chair mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. Before you click catalogue, carry home accent chair dat live, and retro style settees see it carry laugh and cry.
