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.

RECENT PRESS
Beata Heuman shows her serious side in a landmark London Town House
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.
