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 bartered with old dealers. We carried a wingback through Dalston. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what made it real. Retro armchairs have weight, and students get that instinctively. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and the sofa was another character in the story.
East London is built on mix and retro sitting room mess, and students rely on it. My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and everything felt alive, not plastic. money was tight, but that chair still sits in the flat. 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 retro lasts. every stain means another night. When you’re moving out, the cracked window gets forgotten, but the couch vintage style pieces carry the whole story.
So if you’re moving to London, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Pick up a vintage armchair, and watch it age with you.
