Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The carpet smelled like beer, but we gave it soul with furniture. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we grabbed second-hand. We carried a wingback through Dalston. The colours clashed, but that’s what made it real. Retro comfortable armchairs have weight, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the chairs became mates. Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and shops in the area thrive on it.
I stopped by Smithers looking for nothing, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. We couldn’t afford much, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. it’s what makes memories. Vintage pieces survive it. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but retro lasts. every stain means another night. Once the parties are done, the dodgy landlord fades away, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, skip the flat-pack rubbish.
Pick up a vintage armchair, and see how it shapes your memories.
