TIMOROUS BEASTIES was founded in Glasgow in 1990 by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons, who met studying textile design at Glasgow School of Art. Today, the studio operates on a multidisciplinary basis and has become an internationally acclaimed and multi-award-winning icon. TIMOROUS BEASTIES' work embodies a unique diversity of patterns printed on fabrics and wallpapers, ranging from designs that evoke a golden age of printmaking, to examples of a clearly avant-garde nature and a selection of transgressive motifs, both irreverent and elegant. The studio fully engages a design discourse with the history of textiles by providing an aesthetic evolution to time-honored motifs.
