Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London
Mi name Varon, come London 1948. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. We only could afford old sofa, but dat armchair keep we warm. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Go down to Camden, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, comfortable armchairs but dem true. When London swing 1960s, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.
Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Dalston funky, wid upcycled seat. Dem soulless ting? Dat nuh worth nutten. Old funky accent seat last long. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
