WILD WHISPERS GRASSLAND: fringed velvet cushion

Like all Curious collections, Le Tigre honours the brand ethos ‘A small dose of high drama’ by delivering luxury design underpinned by a rich concept; Le Tigre is a tribute to female power. Blending passion, strength, leadership, intelligence, love, and loyalty under the icon of the tiger. Each piece draws from the powerful imagery and elements associated with the tiger, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and adventure.


Inspiration struck founders Ross Taylor & Chris McShane when they found out that they were becoming fathers to a baby girl:

“Knowing that we were about to undertake the ultimate responsibility, we really thought deeply about what it means to raise a daughter. It’s important for her to know love beyond all imagination, and imbue power, strength, beauty and happiness every step of the way - that was the inspiration for Le Tigre.” – Ross Taylor

TIGER'S EYE: velvet cushion

The Le Tigre collection includes the designs Wild Whispers (a considered and artful interpretation of tiger markings, creating stunning rippling patterns that move with a sense of grace), Fierce Bloom (combining the fierce beauty of the tiger with the exquisite charm of the Tiger Lily flower), Canopy Daydream (with rippling foliage above as you take well deserved rest beneath the canopy) and Tigers Eye (capturing the mesmerizing depth and powerful beauty found within a tiger's gaze, as liquid gold and amber tones flow through the design, echoing the qualities of the precious stone it's named after).
WILD WHISPERS SAVANNAH: Everyday Pouch
WILD WHISPERS GRASSLAND: Everyday Pouch


Each piece, whether it be a cushion, wallpaper, everyday pouch, or fabric, is designed to transport you to the heart of the wilderness, where the spirit of the tiger reigns supreme as an empowered icon. Adorn the home with the essence of the jungle, and feel the untamed elegance of Le Tigre envelop your hidden wild side.

About The Curious Department

The Curious Department is a London-based design studio and online boutique that specialises in the creation of quality art & prints, and luxurious home accessories, designed and created in the UK. Propelled by the notion of transformation, The Curious Department’s passion is to take the under appreciated aesthetics found in nature, and transform them into unexpected mesmerising objects of beauty.


In a world where interior mediocrity is mass produced, and design blandness comes neatly flatpacked, The Curious Department strives to embrace the eccentricity of clutter, clashes and the uncommon, with a splash of opulence and dash of art deco. Everything you find in The Curious Department is handmade in the UK, using British-sourced materials and local expertise where possible. Of course, our butterflies and insects aren't all UK natives, but these are sourced from ethical farms across Europe, Central and South America, Asia and Africa, where they live out their full adult lives, and in death provide local employment, fund schools and healthcare schemes, and generate environmental sustainability.
