Scot Gov x Local Heroes
The Scottish Government's Nordic Office joins forces with Edinburgh design platform Local Heroes to showcase the work of Scotland’s most iconic print designers, Timorous Beasties. Local Heroes champions contemporary Scottish design and craft, curating inspiring spaces that highlight sustainable brands and visionary designers. Their collaboration fosters connections between Scottish and Danish design businesses. Co—located with Scottish Development International at the British Embassy Copenhagen, the office works to strengthen partnerships between Scotland and five neighbouring countries with shared values and open economies.
The Scottish Government and Scottish design platform Local Heroes present “What Are You Looking At?” by Timorous Beasties. This full room installation features a vivid mix of wallpaper and textile patterns reflected by a mirrored floor, transforming the space into an immersive world of print. Responding to the 3daysofdesign theme KEEP IT REAL, Timorous Beasties designers Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons have created a space that celebrates individual expression and offers the chance to step into the whimsical and sometimes menacing world of Scotland’s most iconic print designers. The canal side showroom in Christianshavn offers an opportunity to meet the designers and get hands–on experience of the artisan skill of printmaking.
