Varon Remembers: Retro Chairs Sofas And A Lifetime In London

Mi name Varon, come London 1948. The real ting never lose value. Mi live top floor above de shop, but dat chair feel alive. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Wander Spitalfields, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem true. When London swing 1960s, people buy furniture to last. Dat’s why mi love couch vintage style. Mi remember one winter 1971, but dat sofa warm half community.

Dat sofa still in mi memory. Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Shoreditch wild, wid retro chair mash-up. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat last long. Listen dis, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you tempted by showroom, stop an look round, and let it be part of your life.
