When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The walls were bare, but we built it piece by piece. New furniture is soulless, so we hunted retro. Another dragged a chair from Camden. Nothing matched the walls, but that’s what made it home. Old accent chairs carry memory, quirky sofa and students get that instinctively. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and those seats carried us. Retro furniture feels natural here, and students rely on it.
My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we left with just one piece, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. it’s where life happens. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but vintage carries weight. Every scratch adds more story. After exams and luxury lounge seating chaos, you don’t remember the kettle, but that funky accent chair is legend.
Next time you walk past a market, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Choose a funky accent chair, sofa with accent chair and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
