연락처 : QP 이메일 : gabrielontiveros@gmail.com First year in London was chaos. The windows rattled in the wind, but we filled it with life. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we bartered with old dealers. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. The colours clashed, but that’s what made it home. Retro armchairs have weight, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the chairs became mates. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and shops in the area thrive on it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, quirky armchair and the accent chairs were bold and weird. we left with just one piece, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s where life happens. Vintage pieces survive it. Modern stuff? Forget it, https://systemcheck-wiki.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:ShayneNeal but retro lasts. Every scratch adds more story. By the end of the year, the stress disappears, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh.

When you start student life, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Pick up a vintage armchair, and make it part of your story.
