Béatrice Mase

knitwear designer France
I'm French and live in Le Havre, Normandy, with my husband and two boys. I have a background in design and started my spatial design business in 2010. I launched my knitwear design activity in 2019 during lockdown, and since then I've been balancing between these two activities. I like to think that both are complementary - people often tell me they can see architectural lines in my knitting, and I must admit that really touches me.
