Paul Simmons & Alistair McAuley.

Embracing the universality of design is an expansive practice, and one that duo Timorous Beasties, AKA Paul Simmons and Alistair McAuley, has incorporated into their own studio; 35 years later, we're taking notes.

The Scotland-based designers met as students at the Glasgow School of Art, and joined forces to create work with a shared eclectic sensibility.
