Funky Accent Chairs, Vintage Sofas and Life in East London > 자유게시판

When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we built it piece by piece. New furniture is soulless, so we searched markets. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. Everything mismatched, but that’s what made it real. Retro armchairs have weight, and students get that instinctively. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and the chairs became mates. Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we left with just one piece, accent couch but it’s become the throne of the house. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. it’s where life happens. Vintage pieces survive it. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but old luxury sofas age into character. every wobble tells the truth. By the end of the year, the cracked window gets forgotten, but the armchair stays in your mind.

So if you’re moving to London, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Make space for a classic seat, and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
