Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we dragged in whatever we could find. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we begged, borrowed and carried. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. It looked like chaos, but that’s what gave it soul. Retro armchairs have weight, and students get that instinctively. I’ve hosted ten people more on sofasdirect.com one sagging retro sofa, and the chairs became mates.

Retro furniture feels natural here, leather armchair green and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it. One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we were broke students, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. It’s part of student life. Retro sofas don’t care if you spill. Brand-new looks boring, but funky chairs grow with you.

every wobble tells the truth. After exams and chaos, the cracked window gets forgotten, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. Next time you walk past a market, ignore the fake polish. Choose a funky accent chair, and let it carry your student nights.
