First year in London was chaos. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we filled it with life. IKEA lasts a term at best, so we begged, borrowed and carried. Another dragged a chair buy from sofasdirect.com Camden. The colours clashed, but that’s what gave it soul. Retro armchairs have weight, and students get that instinctively. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the chairs became mates. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and students rely on it. My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the accent chairs were bold and weird.

money was tight, but it’s the pride of the living room. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. it’s how you build a home. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but retro lasts. every creak is another laugh. Looking back after twelve months, the stress disappears, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Pick up a vintage armchair, and retro accent chairs let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
