Timorous Beasties

Timorous-Beasties-wild-bee-
Timorous Beasties is at the forefront of influential textile design, creating spectacular statements that are experimental, beautiful and rebellious. Timorous Beasties’ work embodies a unique diversity of pattern, ranging from design that echoes the golden age of copperplate engraving to those of a distinctly edgy nature that display chic irreverence. The studio fully engages in a discourse with textile design history by lending an aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs.

Timorous Beasties was founded in 1990 by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons, who met whilst studying at the Glasgow School of Art. With an implicit sense of irony they love to invert the world of interiors. Shell and Crab above is a wonderful example, whimsical yet exquisitely opulent.
