Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we filled it with life. Forget glossy showrooms, so we bartered with old dealers. Another dragged a chair from Camden. The colours clashed, but that’s what gave it soul. Vintage sofas feel alive, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and the furniture was part of the night.

Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and designers take inspiration from it. One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. money was tight, but everyone fights to sit in it. Ask around and you’ll hear it. it’s half the fun. Armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. modern living room furniture stuff? Forget it, but funky chairs grow with you. every wobble tells the truth.

When you’re moving out, you don’t remember the kettle, but that funky accent chair is legend. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Grab a retro sofa, and watch it age with you.
