Design studio Timorous Beasties has opened a new flagship showroom in the heart of Clerkenwell, London. The new space on Britton Street is a five-minute walk from Farringdon station, and joins the vibrant creative scene of the area.
The new showroom, originally built in 1916 as a five-storey warehouse, previously operated as a lithographic and typesetting printworks, and resonated with Timorous Beasties' heritage, echoing the craft of the brand’s Glasgow handprint studio – Timorous Beasties says it was additionally drawn to Britton Street due to the history of craftsmen and makers who lived and worked on the street.
The 2300 sqft space is arranged over the ground floor and lower ground floor levels, both of which are flooded with natural light. Customers will be able to browse and purchase Timorous Beasties’ entire collection of wallpapers, fabrics and accessories, as well as smaller gift items for the home.
Products will be displayed within lifestyle settings ,with zones to sit, relax and browse sample books and discuss interior schemes with the team. Timorous Beasties will also offer a design consultation service in the showroom, as well as a meeting space for trade clients.
Alistair McAuley, co-founder of Timorous Beasties, comments: "We are delighted to open our new London showroom in the heart of Clerkenwell’s design district. This destination space will allow us to showcase the full breadth of our wallpaper and fabric collections. In addition to selecting unique products for their home interiors and receive one-to-one design and colour advice from our team, we want our customers to enjoy their showroom experience and gain a better understanding of over 30 years of Timorous Beasties' pattern and print heritage."
