Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs, Sofas, and a Lifetime in London

I tell you, old fashioned armchair London change plenty but some tings stay same. When it come to seat, mi know what last. We only could afford old sofa, retro accent chairs but dat chair feel alive. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not new outta box, but dem honest. Back in de day, Sofa stay whole family life. Every scratch talk story. Cold, snow pon street, family-friendly furniture but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid upcycled seat. Dem soulless ting? Dem break quick. Vintage chair grow wid you. Call it what you like, mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. So next time you want chair, dig through retro, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
