Timorous Beasties Euro Damask wallpaper - Hand Printed wallpaper by Timorous Beasties were European coastlines and cartographical contours are abstractly reconfigured to echo the symmetrical ink-blot images used by the psychoanalyst, Rorscarch. In this design, the marriage of these images dually complements yet challanges traditional damask patterns.
More about Timorous Beasties:
Timorous Beasties is noted for their surreal and provocative textiles and wallpapers, the design studio founded in Glasgow in 1990 by Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons, who met while studying textile design at Glasgow School of Art.
By depicting uncompromisingly contemporary images on traditional textiles and wallpapers, Timorous Beasties has defined an iconoclastic style of design once described as “William Morris on acid.”
McAuley and Simmons also execute special commissions, such as fabrics for Philip Treacy’s hats and for the interiors of the Arches Theatre in Glasgow and 50 Piccadilly, a London casino.
Timorous Beasties are experimental in approach to both hand-printing and machine production. These changes are reflected in an evolving aesthetic: from early wayward interpretations of naturalistic images of insects, plants and fish; to a searingly contemporary graphic style which, as Glasgow Toile illustrates, explores social and political issues.
