Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we made it ours. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we begged, borrowed and carried. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what gave it soul. Vintage sofas feel alive, and we care more about story than gloss. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, vintage accent chair and redirected here the chairs became mates. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and retro style settees designers take inspiration from it.
We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. we had to haggle, but it’s become the throne of the house. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. it’s what makes memories. Armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Mass production doesn’t care, but retro lasts. every stain means another night. By the end of the year, the broken toaster doesn’t matter, but the armchair stays in your mind. When you start student life, don’t waste time on the soulless new.
Choose a funky accent chair, and let it carry your student nights.
