I discovered Timorous Beasties last year whilst on my foundation but have found that I have come back to them time and time again for inspiration. Taking inspiration mainly from the natural world, they create amazing unique and modern designs sometimes however harking back to classic print designs such as their well known 'Glasgow Toile'.
Most of their designs have a hand drawn quality to them that I love and even though some finished products are digitally printed, they still use the 'hand made', screen printed method which I think sets them apart from many other design houses.
In June 2011 they embarked upon a project to create window coverings for the inside of Stratford Market station in East London to provide privacy in parts of the building. They used their 'Tree Of Life' design on clear vinyl for the finished product.
This could be an area of further investigation for my work as the new build houses a lot of glass and this is a contemporary and fun way of giving privacy to areas in and around buildings.
