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.

The Sound of Material will explore ideas centred on craftsmanship, techniques and processes. The group exhibition will be focusing on both traditional handwork and innovative practices, the works presented invite and encourage us to engage with them. With this, the exhibition asks us to think about the transformative qualities of the materials present, the intricacy or simplicity of the techniques on display, and to appreciate of the power of the objects present in our lives. Bringing together a dynamic group of designers and makers who work with ceramics, textiles, lighting, furniture, glasswork, paper and more, the exhibition will be curated by Natalia Sánchez.
