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.

Mendocino


Take a journey to California’s Lost Coast. Designs of the Time’s Mendocino collection echoes its rustic landscapes and indigenous heritage, the collection evokes a sense of boundless nostalgia. Idyllic patterns, artisanal weaves, and rich hues bring this sentiment to life, weaving a timeless tapestry of nature and craft.  To see all the fabrics in this collection click here.

The Mendocino colour palette is tantalising and rich, forest greens, autumnal leaves, dirty mustards softened with sea blues and good greys.  The problem will be choosing.

Designs of the Time create impeccable day curtain fabrics. ‘Pomo’ on the left is a very textured extra wide linen with a natural look created  using threads of varying thicknesses. On the right ‘Chigaga’ is a sun resistant indoor outdoor fabric made of polyolefin that is tough and more opaque.You can line either to create a full night curtain. Both are extra-wide.

Wilder Collection: Awaken the curious wanderer within you


The colour palettes take a walk on the wilder side. Ages old, from times past there are oches, burnt siennas, raw umbers, soft greens and stunning indigos. These are complemented with pinkish clay tones and chalky off-whites.

Hemp is a fascinating plant, the toughest of natural fibres, in the past it was used for ship’s ropes. Hemp is the most environmentally friendly of all fibres available. Designs of the Time’s hemps are finely woven, here Chaco is such a beautiful white it almost seems to glow.

This is what I really love, so we make no concessions. We very deliberately choose top quality materials that we like ourselves and from these we try to assemble a fascinating, personal and unique collection. This is not just my way of working, it’s my way of living.

Linen is a tough plant and does not require insecticides.  It dyes beautifully, does not collect dust and is cool, fresh and comfortable. Truly it is a miracle fabric.


		

	


		

			
		

		
		

	

		
		

			

		

	



	

		
		

			

		

	



	

		

			
These textiles may appear casual yet a second glance proves that they are fabrics born from sophisticated and meticulous design practices. The result is confident, unique and very easy-to-use and live with designs. Yvan Puylaert and his team are steadfast in their pursuit of quality.

Many of these linens have exceptional rub counts.  Linens will last for  years, contain no toxins and are grown and manufactured to high environmental standards.  Without being cliched it is time that we consider the environment in our interior choices and there are plenty of options.
