Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Mi see chair come, chair go.

Share space wid three bredren, but seat crack but it never mash up. But mi tell you, vintage style leather armchair retro piece worth more than gold.

Any London market you choose, sofa carry story deep. Not new outta box, but dem honest.

When reggae first play in Brixton pub, people buy furniture to last. Every stain show moment.

Mi remember one winter 1971, contemporary leather armchair but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Design mix by area. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid sofa in bright clash.

All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair grow wid you.

Listen dis, ctpedia.org mi back di old ting every time.

Before you click catalogue, carry home accent chair dat live, and make it tell your story same as mine.
