Celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, Timorous Beasties is a design studio based in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons, graduates of The Glasgow School of Art, in 1990. Offering a portfolio of over 500 original designs, the brand focuses on hand and digitally printed fabric and wallpaper, designed in–house. Known for their surreal and provocative wall–coverings and textiles and as an icon of Scottish design, Timorous Beasties’ work embodies a unique diversity of pattern and displays chic irreverence. Timorous Beasties designs are available internationally, with showrooms in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London. The brand has collaborated widely with prominent brands including Johnnie Walker, S.C.P and Ercol.

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.

Established in 2017, Fischersund is a family–run art collective and niche perfumery based in Reykjavik, Iceland. Founded by four siblings—Inga, Jónsi, Sigurrós, and Lilja—the brand serves as a creative platform using scent, visual arts and music. Sensorial design and storytelling are used to create immersive experiences including unique perfumes, scented concerts and exhibitions. Music is used to tell the story of scent. Like perfume is composed of olfactory notes, the sounds of Fischersund are carefully crafted to create an atmosphere that transports the listener to Iceland. Together, Jónsi (of Sigur Rós), Sindri and Kjartan have composed 30 pieces of music that reflect the ethereal fragrances and bring the brand to life through sound.

The project sets design briefs to create everyday objects that bring joy in use, proposing artefacts that recognise and celebrate the innumerable skilled actions that shape daily life. The aim is to draw inspiration from materials and processes that not only define the objects people interact with but also shape the relationship with the surrounding environment.
