Student living in East London is messy but fun. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we gave it soul with furniture. Forget glossy showrooms, so we hunted retro. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what made it home. Funky retro seating has character, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve fallen asleep in a battered armchair with a book, and the furniture was part of the night. Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and shops in the area thrive on it.
We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we had to haggle, but everyone fights to sit in it. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. It’s part of student life. modern leather armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Brand-new looks boring, but real pieces stay alive. every dent becomes part of the flat. When you’re moving out, the stress disappears, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, leave the glossy showrooms behind.
Take home something with scars, and see how it shapes your memories.
