"Even during Sweden's famously long and bitter-cold winter, the dining room at Beata Heuman's 18th-century family farmhouse bursts with life thanks to the hand-painted mural of tulips, lilies, dahlias, and fruit trees-all a nod to flora on the property grounds, much of it planted by her mom. Now, the AD100 designer has teamed up with the British wall covering brand de Gournay to bring that tableau (ever so slightly tweaked) into production."
"Using carpets as upholstery fabric is, in David Netto's words, "a very Napoleon III thing." History, he's right, brims with examples. Antique kilim chairs come to mind, as does Freud's couch. "The last person to do this was probably some Rothschild in the 19th century-or maybe Mongiardino," quips the AD100 designer, who is now giving the technique a fresh twist, covering Billy Baldwin's iconic slipper chairs in flatweave rugs by Woodard Weave."
Beata Heuman transformed the flora from her mother's garden into a hand-painted mural of tulips, lilies, dahlias, and fruit trees that enlivens her 18th-century dining room. The mural has been adapted into a production wallcovering through a collaboration with the British brand de Gournay, alongside a Delft Folly riff on Dutch blue-and-white tiles. David Netto revived a historic upholstery technique by covering Billy Baldwin slipper chairs with flatweave rugs from Woodard Weave after acquiring the company, selecting stripes and plaids that echo Baldwin's armless geometry and a classic tan, red, and denim-blue palette. A 1950s Vladimir Kagan outdoor suite receives a modern reinterpretation.
