Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs, Sofas, And A Lifetime In London

I reach this city when Empire Windrush dock. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Share space wid three bredren, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Any London market you choose, funky accent chair bright like carnival. Not new outta box, but dem live long. When Notting Hill riot cool down, Furniture was solid, luxyry armchairs not cheap quick buy. Retro keep history alive. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but It last twenty year.

Dat sofa still in mi memory. London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid upcycled seat. Modern flat-pack? Dem got no memory. Old funky accent seat carry life. End of de day, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, stop an look round, and make it tell your story same as mine.
