Inspired by the thistles and roses festooning the Victoria and Albert Museum's exterior architectural surface, Timorous Beasties re-designed the V&A boardroom in 2010.
Introducing an atmosphere of warmth to an otherwise conventionally formal space, we framed the wallpaper pattern to a height that simultaneously avoided encroachment on the room’s art collection and yet created a field of focus for the main portrait of Queen Victoria. The centre-piece rug (manufactured by Loophouse), drapes, and a printed blind showcase a craftwork juxtaposition of high-tech digital printing and traditional hand-printing and hand-tufted manufacturing methods.
Published by Vintage Classics, The Birds and Bees is a collection of five reissues that encapsulate the authors' own experiences, detailing the wonders, struggles and triumphs in their encounters with these wonderful winged creatures.
Timorous Beasties were invited by world-renowned music systems manufacturer Linn to collaborate on a series of speaker covers for Linn's Series 5 music system.
Timorous Beasties’ Tree of Life design was applied in brilliant colour on optically clear vinyl to create a transparent spatial distinction between the upstairs café and the downstairs office suite in the Stratford Market Station building, East London.
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.
