Student living in East London is messy but fun. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we made it ours. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we hunted retro. We carried a wingback through Dalston. The colours clashed, but that’s why it worked. Chairs with scars feel stronger, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and visit the up coming article furniture was part of the night. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and shops in the area thrive on it.

My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we had to haggle, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s half the fun. Vintage pieces survive it. Brand-new looks boring, but old sofas age into character. every stain means another night. By the end of the year, the stress disappears, but you remember the sofa.

When you think furniture, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Pick up a vintage armchair, and watch it age with you.
