From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Mi see chair come, leather chair retro go. Mi live top floor above de shop, but dat armchair keep we warm. Nowadays dem want flat-pack quick. Go down to Camden, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not factory shine, but dem live long. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every spring hold laugh and cry. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but It creak but it strong. Dat sofa part of mi life.

Furniture change wid di street. Chelsea go fancy, wid plush sofa. Hackney raw, wid sofa in bright clash. Modern flat-pack? Dem break quick. Vintage chair last long. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. So next time you want chair, dig through retro, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
