Watch for Colin and Justin on Cabin Pressure and Great Canadian Cottages (Cottage Life TV) and on Cityline (CityTV). And, about that prospect, we are hugely excited… These days, Timorous Beasties are design superstars, feted by Elle Décor, Vogue and Architectural Digest, with a creative pedigree regularly specified by architects and designers the world over.Įven though their business is already more than three decades in, we imagine that there’s so much more to come. Blimey, we remember their annual remnant sale, a much anticipated wine fuelled party to which the city’s style cognoscenti would flock to obtain bargain fabric pieces to upholster a vintage chairs or cushion pads to ‘get’ the boy’s look on a budget. Their beautiful Great Western Road store is a long (but hugely warranted) way from their warehouse studio days of old. From their showroom in our native city, they’ve gone on to launch branches in London and Berlin, as well as pulling together retail pop ups at design symposiums worldwide. This week, based as we are in Glasgow, we visited Timorous Beasties headquarters, to witness, first hand, a little of the brand’s special magic.
Timorous Beasties designs have also been displayed at The Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK, The Art Institute of Chicago and, closer to home, at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum.
