Raised on a small farm in her native Sweden, Beata Heuman moved to London in her twenties and learned the trade working for celebrity designer Nicky Haslam. Once out on her own, she quickly became known for exuberant colors and a playful, nostalgic approach to design. After the product side of Beata’s business took off, her husband John Finlay left behind a corporate law career to help run the brand.
On this episode of the podcast, the two of them speak to host Dennis Scully about opening up a showroom in a historic London building, working together as a married couple, and why mischief is the secret ingredient in Beata’s work.
