From Kingston To Camden: Varon Talks Retro Furniture
I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. When it come to seat, stylish upholstered seating mi know what last. Mi live top floor above de shop, but seat crack but it never mash up. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Walk through Brixton Market, funky chairs for living room sofa carry story deep. Not glossy, but dem real. Long time before internet, retro sitting room Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Every scratch talk story. Mi remember one winter 1971, but It last twenty year.
Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Furniture change wid di street. Chelsea go fancy, wid deep wingback. Shoreditch wild, wid retro chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Dat nuh worth nutten. Old funky accent seat hold family together. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, take armchair wid scar, and watch it age same way as you.
