Varon’s Story: Vintage Sofas And Armchairs In London Town

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. Mi see chair come, chair go. Back then, South London rough, cold, but seat crack but it never mash up. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Any London market you choose, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem real. When London swing 1960s, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Retro keep history alive. Mi and brethren Lennox find one old Chesterfield in Dalston, but It last twenty year.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Every area carry different vibe. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Shoreditch wild, wid retro settee chair mash-up. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you pass market, pick up sofa wid story, and watch it age same way as you.
