First year in London was chaos. The carpet smelled like beer, but we made it ours. New furniture is soulless, so we hunted retro. 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 it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and every time it felt right. Retro furniture feels natural here, and dealers live for it.We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we had to haggle, but it’s become the throne of the house. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s what makes memories. Retro sofas don’t care if you spill. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but funky chairs grow with you. every wobble tells the truth. Looking back after twelve months, the stress disappears, accent contemporary chairs but you remember the sofa. So if you’re moving to London, skip the flat-pack rubbish.
Grab a retro lounge chairs sofa, and desk chair funky watch it age with you.
