The brutal and beautiful, a new store and collection launch from Timorous Beasties

Founded in 1990 by designers Alistair McAuley and Paul Simmons Timorous Beasties have become synonymous with bold eccentric textiles and home furnishings. Craftsmanship, quality and impeccable detail, the designs take inspiration from the every day and particularly play on Timorous Beasties’ fascination with the often-brutal beauty of the environment around them.
