About Shoppa
Our "Shoppa" collection of homewares and furnishings is designed entirely in-house and made using a small network of trusted suppliers and craftsmen. The first Shoppa item we developed, Marbleized Velvet, was made for a sofa in our first project. The collection has grown organically since – one product at a time – and now incorporates a diverse range of lighting, handles, furniture, rugs, fabrics and wallpapers.
Sold exclusively from our website and the showroom at 188, our ambition is to curate a collection filled with original products that inspire.

Beata Heuman on why you need to make space for the past in modern buildings
House & Garden
“It's all in the mix” is something we're always hearing from interior designers – but what does that really mean? Beata Heuman reflects on how to get the blend of past and present right, no matter what kind of building you're in.

Architectural Digest
If the ability to shape-shift is one of the true superpowers of an accomplished designer, then underestimate Beata Heuman at your peril. The Swedish-born, London-based AD100 talent is well-known for her delicious designs emboldened with captivating color, a masterful mesh of furnishings, and a smattering of whimsy. But her latest project, a Grade II* listed five-story town house in Kensington, is concrete proof there is more to her creative playbook than meets the eye.
Worlds Elide
The World of Interiors
Commissioned to decorate a recently restored 1870s Manhattan townhouse, the London-based Beata Heuman drew inspiration from the writings of Henry James, particularly his central theme of a decadent, sophisticated Europe confronting the confident ingenuity of the American republic.
