About

The designer Sue Timney, has worked in Britain, Europe and Japan for over thirty years creating interior projects celebrating her own brand of exotic classicism under the TIMNEY FOWLER and SUE_TIMNEY banners. The work ranges from commercial and residential interior architecture to product design for interiors and fashion. She was made a Visiting Professor and Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art in 2007, holds the Textile Institute’s Design Medal and was nominated for the Prince Philip Designer's Prize by the Royal College of Art. From 2012 - 2014, Sue was President of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID), and she is currently a director of BIID.

In 2002, alongside the TIMNEY FOWLER brand - the SUE_TIMNEY design practice was set up to work on specialist interior and product projects. A retrospective of Timney’s work was held in 2010 at The Fashion and Textile Museum in London, together with the launch of her book Making Marks - a design biography published in New York.  She exhibited in the Postmodernism: Style & Subversion 1970-1990 exhibition and in the 'British Design 1948-2012 -  Innovation in the Modern Age' - both at the V&A and '175 years at the Royal College of Art’. Her work was again exhibited in the influential 'Club to Catwalk: London Fashion in the Eighties' show at the V&A Museum in 2013..

The 100th Grand Designs programme - The Water Tower in Kennington - was a huge restoration project designed by the sue_TIMNEY practice in collaboration with the owners and nominated for a BAFTA in 2013. 

Timney was elected Chair of the Chelsea Arts Club and re-elected in 2022 and also elected Chair of Trevelyan Arts Trust and received the Merit Award from the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). The Merit Award from the BIID celebrates excellence in interior design practice, contribution to the development of the Institute and commitment to the broader field of design education.
