Shopper’s Diary: Timorous Beasties
From Sarah:
Today is the birthday of the venerable Scottish poet Robert Burns, who wrote “To a Mouse.” In honor of Burns, we thought it fitting to feature Scottish design duo Timorous Beasties, which takes its name from the Burns’ classic. Timorous Beasties were among the first to put a subversive spin on French Toile de Jouy, replacing the traditional pastoral scenes with modern-day, slightly menacing imagery (as in their Devil Damask flock wallpaper). They produce fabrics, rugs, wallpapers, lampshades, and window shades, and have showrooms in London and Glasgow.
