This year, we were honoured to be shortlisted for the prestigious King’s Award for Innovation in Practice. The award celebrates organisations and individuals who are pushing boundaries in their fields, finding new ways to connect tradition and progress.

For us at Timorous Beasties, innovation is woven into everything we do, from our experimental approach to pattern-making and textile design to the way we combine heritage craft techniques with cutting-edge digital processes. Being recognised in this category is a testament to the dedication and artistry of our team, and the enduring support of our clients, collaborators, and community.

We'd also like to extend our congratulations to this year’s winner, Yasmeen Lari, Pakistan’s first female architect. Her work brilliantly connects architecture with social justice, while championing a climate-conscious approach to building that is visionary and compassionate. A truly inspiring achievement.

Although we didn’t take home the top prize, being nominated alongside such remarkable talent reinforces our commitment to continually innovate, experiment, and push the possibilities of design.
