Urban London Toile

London Toile Wallpaper

This wallpaper is brilliant. It’s called The London Toile is the second Toile that Timorous Beasties have produced, the first being a Glasgow version. Designed from a love of London and a love of the old toile’s that were produced in prerevolutionary and post industrial France. Some imagery in the original Toiles was sinister, they depicted scenes that were then “contemporary”, but we now see as looking traditional. Timorous Beasties have not actually changed much in the Toile concept, but have updated the references from the contemporary urban – so you’ve got gun crime, drinking in parks and the like.

Available in Reds on cream, blues on cream and greens on cream from Timorous Beasties for £100 a roll.
