With over 20 years in Britain, Heuman is as much English as Swedish. Comparing the two nations’ design sensibilities, she notes a practical streak in Sweden — “everything should be wipeable” — while British interiors lean into comfort and warmth.⁠
⁠
“Britons worry less about their things, which is inspiring to me as a Swede. There’s more use of textiles, like upholstered ottomans instead of hard coffee tables, and even wall-to-wall carpet in bathrooms. Their homes aren’t as well-insulated, so textiles help. I also find them to be particularly good and placing furniture to make you feel more comfortable, especially in living rooms. A sofa, for instance, should always have a side table for your drink.”⁠

Mid-century office furniture, a curation.⁠
⁠
Following this week’s Academy event, we turn our gaze to the designs that shaped much of 20th-century design history — furniture driven by new materials, industrial production and a belief that good design should be accessible, efficient and built for everyday use.⁠
⁠
As Charles Eames put it: “The best for the most for the least.” A principle that came to define an era of office design focused on doing more with less.⁠
