Life In A Shoreditch Flat: Retro Sofas And Funky Chairs On A Student Budget

When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The walls were bare, but we filled it with life. IKEA lasts a term at best, so we hunted retro. Another dragged a chair from Camden. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what made it real. Retro armchairs have weight, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and the furniture was part of the night. Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and designers take inspiration from it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the vintage armchairs carried scars I loved. we were broke students, but everyone fights to sit in it. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s where life happens. Retro sofas don’t care if you spill. Brand-new looks boring, but old sofas age into character. every creak is another laugh. Looking back after twelve months, you don’t remember the kettle, but the vintage pieces carry the whole story.
