Mi name Varon, come London 1948. comfortable home furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. We only could afford old sofa, but dat armchair keep we warm. Dem no see value in scratch and scar. Walk through Brixton Market, armchair wid leather crack. Not new outta box, unusual armchairs but dem carry London inside. When reggae first play in Brixton pub, Furniture was solid, not cheap quick buy. Every stain show moment. Mi remember one winter 1971, but It creak but it strong. Dat sofa still in mi memory. Every area carry different vibe.
Kensington love velvet, wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid upcycled seat. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Vintage chair tell history. Mi speak plain, mi love vintage over flat-pack. So next time you want chair, stop an look round, and funky sofas see it carry laugh and cry.
