Varon’s Story: Vintage Sofas and Armchairs in London Town

[floychatterton]

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. The real ting never lose value. We only could afford old sofa, but seat crack but it never mash up. Modern people love shiny tings. Walk through Brixton Market, you see retro sofa pile high. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem honest. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Accent chair sit same corner thirty years. Every stain show moment. Cold, snow pon street, but It creak but it strong.

Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. London borough different style. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. Dem soulless ting? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair carry life. Call it what you like, retro sofas mi love vintage over flat-pack. Before you click catalogue, armchairs take armchair wid scar, and watch it age same way as you.
