Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Mi see chair come, chair go. We only could afford old sofa, but it scratch, different styles of armchairs it creak, but it solid. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Go down to Camden, luxyry armchairs vintage wingback smell of years. Not new outta box, but dem true. Back in de day, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Mi remember one winter 1971, but Everybody sit pon it. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

Every area carry different vibe. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Shoreditch wild, wid upcycled seat. All dem catalogue chair? Dem break quick. Vintage chair last long. End of de day, quirky chairs for living room mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you tempted by showroom, carry home accent chair dat live, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
