Student living in East London is messy but fun. The carpet smelled like beer, but we dragged in whatever we could find. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we bartered with old dealers. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. It looked like chaos, but that’s what made it home. Funky retro seating has character, and we care more about story than gloss. 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. We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. we left with just one piece, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. It’s part of student life. luxyry armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Mass production doesn’t care, but retro lasts.

every dent becomes part of the flat. Looking back after twelve months, the cracked window gets forgotten, but you remember the sofa. When you think furniture, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Make space for a classic seat, and see how it shapes your memories.
