Interior designer Beata Heuman
Being commissioned to renovate the home of an esteemed industry peer is possibly the highest praise an interior designer can get. Beata Heuman was certainly flattered when the owner of this London terraced house, an expert in the world of home interiors, invited her to do just that. “It was such a compliment," smiles Heuman, designer and author of Every Room Should Sing.
The owner and his wife wanted their home to have a blend of personality а and practicality, so there's little wonder the Swedish-born, UK-based designer was top of their list for the job. Heuman's playful, imaginative style - honed during her early career working for the eccentric interiors powerhouse Nicky Haslam - has made her one of the country's leading tastemakers and most sought-after designers, with a rolodex of A-list clients that includes the eminently stylish supermodel Adwoa Aboah. The designer's knack for a pairing theatrical, colourful flourishes with pragmatism makes her spaces as liveable as they are photogenic. Who wouldn't want their home to be energised by the Heuman touch?

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN
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.
