Moving into a student flat ain’t glamorous. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we filled it with life. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we hunted best retro armchairs. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. Nothing matched the walls, but that’s what made it home. Funky retro seating has character, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the chairs became mates. Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and vintage accent chairs designers take inspiration from it.

My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we left with just one piece, but everyone fights to sit in it. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s where life happens. Accent chairs don’t flinch when four people pile on. Modern stuff? Forget it, but funky chairs grow with you. every creak is another laugh. Looking back after twelve months, you don’t remember the kettle, accent couch but that funky accent chair is legend.

If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, ignore the fake polish. Make space for a classic seat, and watch it age with you.
