Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. Mi live top floor above de shop, but dat sofa hold story. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Step in Portobello, quirky sofas vintage wingback smell of years. Not factory shine, but dem live long. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, quirky chairs for living room Sofa stay whole family life. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Cold, snow pon street, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Hackney raw, wid mismatched armchair. All dem catalogue chair? Dem carry no story. Old funky accent seat tell history. End of de day, unusual armchairs mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. When you tempted by showroom, pick up sofa wid story, and make it tell your story same as mine.
