Opened in 1889, The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, is one of Edinburgh’s most outstanding buildings. In December 2011 the gallery re-opened following a period of dramatic renovation.
To help mark the union of old and new, Timorous Beasties were commissioned to create a collection of home accessories inspired by some of the gallery’s most iconic portraits, including Robert Burns, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Queen Anne, Mary Queen of Scots, and James VI.
Timorous Beasties designed two engraved, polished granite over-slabs for the new Robert Burns Museum in Alloway to mark the walkway from the Museum to Burns’ cottage.
Rugged elegance for the outdoors is brought to you in a TB's collaboration with Glasgow-based outdoor bag designers, Trakke.
Curator Hugo Macdonald approached TB back in 2018 regarding an exhibition he was planning on holding taking place at Harewood House in the Spring of 2019.
Timorous Beasties recently collaborated with the prestigious Royal Opera House in London to create an exclusive range of ceramics, textiles and accessories.
