Retro Comforts In Shoreditch – A Student’s Tale

Student living in East London is messy but fun. The carpet smelled like beer, but we built it piece by piece. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we searched markets. We carried a wingback through Dalston. The colours clashed, but that’s what made it ours. Vintage sofas feel alive, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and the chairs became mates. retro arm chair furniture feels natural here, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it.

My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. We couldn’t afford much, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s how you build a home. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but funky chairs grow with you. every creak is another laugh. By the end of the year, the dodgy landlord fades away, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. When you start student life, leave the glossy showrooms behind.

Take home something with scars, accent sofa and let it carry your student nights.
