Retro Comforts in Shoreditch – A Student’s Tale > 자유게시판

When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The windows rattled in the wind, but we gave it soul with furniture. Forget glossy showrooms, so we bartered with old dealers. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. Everything mismatched, but that’s what made it real. Retro armchairs have weight, and we care more about story than gloss. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the furniture was part of the night.

Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and dealers live for it. I stopped by Smithers looking for nothing, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. we left with just one piece, but it’s become the throne of the house. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s how you build a home. Armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Mass production doesn’t care, but vintage carries weight. Every scratch adds more story. Looking back after twelve months, the dodgy landlord fades away, but that funky accent bedroom chair vintage is legend.

So if you’re moving to London, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Grab a retro sofa, and let it carry your student nights.
