From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
Been in London from di forties, seen it all. family-friendly furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. We only could afford old sofa, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Not factory shine, but dem real. Long time before internet, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Every scratch talk story. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It last twenty year.
Dat sofa part of mi life. Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid retro chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Dem break quick. Vintage chair tell history. Truth be told, mi love vintage over flat-pack. If you tink to buy quick, carry home accent chair dat live, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
