‘Millions of people have sat on my old Glasgow subway couch’

“There’s something quite nice about having the exact object in your living room,” Matt said. “It tells a story.

“People have been sitting on these seats for decades and it goes to show how hard-wearing they are.

“This kind of fabric, moquette, is chosen for bus seats and transport because it’s resilient, hard-wearing and easily cleanable. But I’ve borrowed a carpet cleaner from my mum and I’ve just been going over it until I’m happy with it.”

Interior designer Anna Campbell Jones, who is also a judge on “Scotland’s Home of the Year”, designed the seat pattern on the legacy trains.

The old chairs feature 100% mohair upholstery and Scottish leather.

Matt said he usually tried to find interesting furniture second hand.

“There’s so much naff stuff out there that’s made in a factory and shipped out to the big suppliers for thousands of pounds,” he said.

“But I’m quite proud of the nice stuff we have in our flat that’s from a charity shop or Facebook Marketplace.

“I like the hunt of it and it’s nice to save something that would just end up in the street or in landfill.”
