When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we built it piece by piece.

Forget glossy showrooms, so we hunted retro. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. The colours clashed, but that’s what made it home.

Chairs with scars feel stronger, accent chairs for living room and we care more about story than gloss. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and the chairs became mates.

Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and shops in the area thrive on it. I stopped by Smithers looking for nothing, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we had to haggle, but everyone fights to sit in it.

We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s how you build a home. Accent chairs don’t flinch when four people pile on.

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

By the end of the year, you don’t remember the kettle, but you remember the sofa.

If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Take home something with scars, fabric and leather couches watch it age with you.
