As we celebrate 35 years of bold, boundary-pushing design, we’re thrilled to introduce our latest collection, Straight Out the Jungle. This richly decorative and innovative range of wallpapers and fabrics captures our spirit of elegant irreverence, offering a tropical escape that is both anachronistic and audacious.
Loosely inspired by The Insects of Surinam (1705), the extraordinary work of Dutch naturalist Maria Sybilla Merian, the collection reimagines nature through a modern, fantastical lens that is intensely detailed, dramatically scaled, and unmistakably Timorous.
Nature, Intensified and Unprecedented
In Straight Out the Jungle, nature takes on a grand, almost supernatural character. Insects, lizards, and caterpillars leap and crawl across dense foliage where flowers and leaves appear in monumental form. Every line has been meticulously hand-drawn, creating a world that is both intricate and immersive, a deliberate departure from the sweet and traditional ways nature is often represented in pattern.
At the centre of the wallpaper collection is XL Jungle, our show-stopping design with an exceptional 20-metre repeat. The imagery evolves across the full length, and because there is no side-to-side repeat, there is no wastage. It can be continuously applied to any wall, creating an uninterrupted and immersive landscape.
Each design is digitally printed with opaque ink onto a silver metallic embossed vinyl base and a finely textured non-woven paper, giving the work the tactile feel of engraved zinc plates, a perfect meeting of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship.
Alongside XL Jungle, we have created six coordinating panel designs: Baccalis, Gossypium, Grandifolius, Lacerta, Papaver and Papua Paradise each sharing the same side-to-side repeat but featuring different imagery through the centre. This allows them to be mixed and matched in any order while maintaining a cohesive flow.

Adding to the range, Indie Jungle brings a new tropical twist to our classic Indie Wood design. Printed onto a luxuriously tactile matt paper with a 10-metre repeat, it offers a more traditional wallpaper format that’s perfect for residential spaces, while retaining all the drama and intricacy of the larger-scale designs. Available in six colourways; Mist, Shoebill, Rosy Maple, Lacewing, Clove and Ebony, it’s a versatile yet statement-making addition to the collection.

Completing the wallpaper range are three smaller all-over repeats: Florama, Leaforia and Florama - each drawn from elements of the main collection and available in three colourways. These designs offer a more accessible and versatile way to bring the jungle indoors.

Reworked Classics and Enduring Design
Our new fabric range brings the same dramatic intensity and craftsmanship to textiles.
Indie Jungle takes centre stage once again, this time dramatically scaled to a 26-metre repeat. The non-directional design works in any orientation, making it as versatile as it is visually striking.
The collection also includes fabric versions of Florama, Vinea, and Leaforia, each available in two colourways. Designed for longevity and creative flexibility, these textiles are suitable for curtains, soft furnishings, and bespoke upholstered pieces that transform furniture into works of art.
Accessories: Finishing Touches
To complement the wallpapers and fabrics, Straight Out the Jungle also introduces a range of coordinating accessories; including lampshades, cushions, and shopper bags. Each piece carries the same expressive detail and sense of storytelling that defines the collection, bringing a touch of the jungle to every corner of the home
A Radical Approach to Pattern
'Staight Out The Jungle’, collection of wallpapers and fabrics transform natural motifs into visceral, subversive narratives that undermines the civility of historical pattern, inviting the wild back into the domestic sphere. The approach lends aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs, fusing 18th-century elegance with a raw, contemporary sensibility that redefines what beauty in nature can mean.
— Paul Simmons, Co-Founder
Straight Out the Jungle embodies our radical approach to pattern, taking the meticulous natural studies of a 17th-century observer and reworking them into a bold, contemporary vision.
From the unprecedented 20-metre repeat of XL Jungle to the intricately detailed, upholstery-grade fabrics, this collection redefines the scale, intensity, and theatricality with which nature can inhabit an interior.
It is an immersive, tropical fantasy; distinctly Timorous and without compromise.
