Description

Introducing the Timorous Beasties Berkeley Blooms Midnight Duvet Set. A dense composition of colourful flowers forms the lush pattern of the Berkeley Blooms bedlinen. The intricately hand-drawn plants reference both the 1960s hippie movement in California and early Victorian engravings. The saccharine style of these familiar designs is given a contemporary twist, printed onto soft 220tc cotton sateen with the black background adding a dark intensity to the richly decorative pattern.

Oxford pillowcase(s) are supplied within the packaging and are also available to purchase separately, if required.

Discover the Timorous Beasties Berkeley Blooms Midnight Duvet Set at Jones & Tomlin – an aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs

Timorous Beasties’ work embodies a unique diversity of pattern, ranging from design that echoes a golden age of copperplate engraving (a time-honoured classic is the Thistle range; or Merian Palm superwide wallpaper) to examples of a distinctly edgy nature, an elegant transgression, a display of chic irreverence. Yet, the studio fully engages a design discourse with textile's history by lending an aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs.

In 2004 Timorous Beasties unveiled their critically acclaimed Glasgow Toile: by reversing the pastoral context of toiles de Jouy, they transformed the traditional toile device to create an exclusively modern urban genre. The Hotch Blotch fabric series challenges a 1000-year old aesthetic mode by placing disorder within the structure of damask pattern to reveal the inherent beauty of splatters, drips and blotches. Hunting Toile and Urban wallpapers mark a synthesis of 18th-century Chinoiserie groupings, Rococo swirls and Victorian silhouette paper cuts to create a uniquely contemporary ornamental textiles pattern repeat. The art critic John Ruskin related a universal connection between nature, art and society. Timorous Beasties share a similar world view, where plants, animals and society are visually inextricable. They are devoted to how that impacts as pattern design in our daily experience of furnished spaces, from one-bedroom flats to country villas, to the halls of civic and government buildings, departure lounge backdrops, boutique enclaves, restaurants, and hotels.
