From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. The real ting never lose value. Back then, South London rough, accent chair and sofa cold, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, sofa carry story deep. Not glossy, but dem carry London inside. When London swing 1960s, people buy furniture to last. Every stain show moment. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.
Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid upcycled seat. Modern flat-pack? Dem carry no story. Old funky accent seat carry life. Listen dis, mi always choose retro over new. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, sofas and armchairs uk let it be part of your life.
