Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we filled it with life.

Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we searched markets. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. It looked like chaos, but that’s why it worked.

Retro armchairs have weight, and we care more about story than gloss. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and the sofa was another character in the story.

Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and dealers live for it. We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and everything felt alive, art deco style settees not plastic. We couldn’t afford much, corporate.elicitthoughts.com but everyone fights to sit in it.

We’ve all begged friends for lifts. It’s part of student life. Vintage pieces survive it.

Brand-new looks boring, but funky chairs grow with you. every stain means another night.

By the end of the year, the cracked window gets forgotten, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh.

Next time you walk past a market, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Make space for a classic seat, and watch it age with you.
