Timorous Beasties
Maximalist Tendencies
Timorous Beasties like to make glorious statements: spectacular, experimental, beautiful, rebellious, political and Scottish.
Their work has a strong sense of irony, perhaps a whimsical take on the often "twee" world of textiles? Often heavily illustrative: toile du jouy, iguanas, orchids, 'triffid'-like pineapples, birds, bees and butterflies abound.
They offer a bespoke service from custom colours to original artwork. All design work takes place at their Glasgow Studio, where they continue to hand-print many of their fabrics and wallpapers. Commissions include curtain designs for the UK Supreme Court, wallpaper in Chicago's Art museum and they have exhibited in museums and galleries in Britain and America.
