This uncomplicated and uncluttered kitchen-dining room is a master class in simplicity and the art of allowing beautiful materials to speak for themselves
When Simon and Claire, owners of this spacious house in Chelsea, embarked upon a full-scale refurbishment of their home, they wanted the best possible craftsmen for the job. It didn’t matter if these were based in Denmark, Eastern Europe or even as far afield as South America – if they were the best, they were hired. When Edinburgh’s Cameron Interiors got the call to take on the key task of creating the new kitchen, then, it barely raised an eyebrow. “The clients came to us through word-of-mouth recommendation and we were delighted to become a part of this handpicked team,” says Pauline Denholm, the firm’s design manager.
“We were determined from the outset that distance wouldn’t become an issue. Any potential problems with the logistics of managing such a detailed project from our Scottish base were overcome thanks to forward thinking and detailed planning, combined with frequent and good communication with the architect, client and onsite build team.”

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
