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.

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.
