First year in London was chaos. The flat looked more squat than home, but we gave it soul with furniture.
Forget glossy showrooms, so we bartered with old dealers. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. Everything mismatched, but that’s why it worked.
Retro armchairs have weight, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve fallen asleep in a battered armchair with a book, and statement armchairs the luxury chairs uk became mates.
Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and students rely on it. We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the vintage armchairs carried scars I loved. We couldn’t afford much, but everyone fights to sit in it.
Every student flat tells the same story. it’s where life happens. Vintage pieces survive it.
Flat-pack won’t last a term, but retro lasts. Every scratch adds more story.
After exams and chaos, classic armchair designs you don’t remember the kettle, but that funky accent chair is legend.
If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, ignore the fake polish. Grab a retro sofa, and let it carry your student nights.
