연락처 : TU 이메일 : blakehowell@yahoo.com.au Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we built it piece by piece.

Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we grabbed second-hand. We carried a wingback through Dalston. The colours clashed, but that’s what made it ours.

Retro armchairs have weight, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and vintage accent chair those seats carried us.

Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and dealers live for it. My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and retro accent chairs the place was full of funky retro chairs. money was tight, but it’s survived three house parties and sofasdirect.com a flood.

Ask around and you’ll hear it. It’s part of student life. Vintage pieces survive it.

Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but vintage carries weight. every creak is another laugh.

Once the parties are done, you don’t remember the kettle, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh.

When you start student life, ignore the fake polish. Grab a retro sofa, and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
