From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Mi see chair come, chair go. Mi live top floor above de shop, but seat crack but it never mash up. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Any London market you choose, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not pretty-pretty, but dem live long. When Notting Hill riot cool down, people buy furniture to last. Every scratch talk story. Cold, snow pon street, but dat sofa warm half community.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. London borough different style. Belgravia love polish, wid deep wingback. Dalston funky, wid sofa in bright clash. All dem catalogue chair? Dem carry no story. retro lounge chairs sofa grow wid you. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, and watch it age same way as you.
