연락처 : ZN 이메일 : gabrielewitmer@gmail.com Moving into a student flat ain’t glamorous. The windows rattled in the wind, but we dragged in whatever we could find. IKEA lasts a term at best, so we searched markets. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. It looked like chaos, but that’s what made it real. Old accent chairs carry memory, and students get that instinctively. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and the sofa store was another character in the story. Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and cool armchairs shops in the area thrive on it.

We wandered past Smithers one Saturday, and everything felt alive, not plastic. we were broke students, but everyone fights to sit in it. Ask around and you’ll hear it. it’s what makes memories. Vintage pieces survive it. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but funky chairs grow with you. every stain means another night. Once the parties are done, the dodgy landlord fades away, vintage accent chairs but the vintage pieces carry the whole story.

So if you’re moving to London, ignore the fake polish. Take home something with scars, and watch it age with you.
