Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The walls were bare, but we dragged in whatever we could find. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we hunted retro. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. It looked like chaos, but that’s what gave it soul. Funky retro seating has character, and we care more about story than gloss. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and the sofa was another character in the story. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and designers take inspiration from it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and everything felt alive, not plastic. we left with just one piece, but it’s become the throne of the house. We’ve all shoved statement sofas through windows. it’s what makes memories. Accent chairs don’t flinch when four people pile on. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but funky chairs grow with you. every wobble tells the truth. By the end of the year, the dodgy landlord fades away, but you remember the sofa. Next time you walk past a market, forget the catalogue shine.

Make space for a classic seat, and make it part of your story.
