Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London
Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. When it come to seat, mi know what last.
Share space wid three bredren, but dat armchair keep we warm. Modern people love shiny tings.
Go down to Camden, armchair wid leather crack. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem true.
Back in de day, people buy furniture to last. Every spring hold laugh and vintage accent chairs cry.
Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It last twenty year. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.
Postcode tell story too. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Dalston funky, wid retro chair mash-up.
Modern flat-pack? Dat nuh worth nutten. Old funky accent seat carry life.
Listen dis, mi love vintage over flat-pack.
So next time you want chair, stop an look round, and stylish upholstered seating make it tell your story same as mine.
