Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's refined London townhouse by Rose Uniacke

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley designed her latest London home - a soothing sanctuary - with Rose Uniacke, transcending the usual trappings of time, at once classic and contemporary thanks to iconic pieces by Pierre Chareau and Angelo Mangiarotti.
Uniacke wanted to create a light, modern, elegant, and particularly feminine home office that reflected the client’s personal style and complemented the charming period bones of this Georgian house.
The choice of art, all made from textile, paper, ceramic, and pencil by predominantly female artists, was integral to the design, and offered something gentle and effecting.
Coupled with objects from antiquity to 20thC, the design overall feels both peaceful and fresh at the same time. This comes through, too, in the sense of lightness permeating every space, not just in the way sunshine softly filters through each room from morning to night, but also in the pared-back choreography of pieces Rose curated for each room.
Rose Uniacke is a designer and gallerist whose diverse and wide-ranging business has spiralled rapidly outwards from its starting point, in response to a growing, international demand for her unique and unrivalled signature aesthetic.
