First year in London was chaos. The windows rattled in the wind, but we built it piece by piece. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we grabbed second-hand. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. The colours clashed, accent chairs for living room but that’s what made it home. Retro armchairs have weight, http://wiki.thedragons.cloud/index.php?title=Vintage_Sofas_In_Mayfair_–_A_Tradition_That_Still_Speaks 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. Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and designers take inspiration from it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. money was tight, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s half the fun. Armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but vintage carries weight. every wobble tells the truth. Once the parties are done, the stress disappears, but you remember the sofa. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, don’t waste time on the soulless new.

Pick up a vintage armchair, and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
