Paul Simmons, co-founder of Timorous Beasties, reflects on the origins of the designs:

“Drawing has always been central to our practice and forms part of our DNA. We drew inspiration from historic engravings and intaglio prints, particularly from antique books and the work of Maria Sybillia Merian, the renowned entomologist, naturalist, and scientific illustrator.”

The Intaglio Collection offers designers a sophisticated yet unexpected selection of fabrics, emphasizing meticulous detail in both pattern and material. The full collection can be viewed here.
