Tim Muddiman, a bassist for 17 years in Gary Numan’s band, explores a brutalist architectural world in a new interiors collection for FEATHR.
Nordic interiors brand FEATHR has collaborated with musician turned artist Tim Muddiman to create a new designer wallpaper collection. The collection comprises wallpapers and customisable wall murals adapted from ten original artworks by Muddiman. Each piece displays Muddiman’s trademark remixing of modernist and brutalist architectural styles with arresting colour blocks and surrealist details. Dimensionality and depth work together to create a striking collection of wallcoverings suited to crisp, modern interiors.
Muddiman is a contemporary British artist feted for his unique fusion of brutalist architecture, linear structure and bold colour. Having spent 17 years as bassist in Gary Numans innovative electronic band and as a solo artist in his own right, Muddiman has left the music stage in an exciting move to prioritise creating art. Recognising the emotional and physical impact of a relentless touring schedule, Muddiman’s choice to leave life on the road and focus on his emerging art career has resulted in a breathtaking new viewpoint on urban modernist style.

The new Tim Muddiman x FEATHR collection comprises of four modernist wallpaper designs, along with seven bold centrepiece murals. In creating the collection, Muddiman has drawn on his teenage love of street art and combined it with experiences gained as a musician. Dominated by recurring themes of muscular geometric block colour, dimensionality and surrealism, each of the wallcoverings conveys Muddiman’s distinct creative vision.
Angular Walk wallpaper
ANGULAR WALK draws us upwards towards its angular stalactites that taper from the apex of the design. Graphic geometric shafts descend, but in doing so they create a contrasting soft undulation. This curbs the dominating strict lines, bringing a sense of balance to the structure. Angular Walk is available as wallpaper panels, each covering 150cm x 320cm, in seven stunning colours.

Another Level wallpaper
ANOTHER LEVEL extols uniformity by displaying different block forms repeating at a regular cadence through the design. Clever use of colour creates shadow that draws us deeper into the rectangular latticework. The Another Level wallpaper is available in 6 colourways.

Lombardy wall mural
LOMBARDY captures life on the edge. A stylized modernist house dominates the mural, whilst contrasting off-whites and tonal blues create the jagged landscape around it. Perspective draws the viewer’s eye from the centre of the design, down the length of the house and into the world beyond. LOMBARDY is available as a wall mural that can be customised to any wall size.

21US wall mural
21US creates impact through its striking linear structure that emerges in an arresting 3D effect. Bold and hypnotic, 21US showcases Muddiman’s signature hard edge contemporary abstract style. The relationship between colour and shade serve to emphasise the interlocked forms. 21US is available as a wall mural that can be customised to any wall size.

JD7 wall mural
JD7 uses three contrasting forms to create movement on multiple plans. A solid background is cut through by a burgundy stripe serving to segment and dissect the mural, whilst adding a focal point. Behind this, neutral toned structural shapes interact to create a motif that invites the user into the artwork. JD7 is available as a wall mural that can be customised to any wall size.

Kingston wallpaper
The KINGSTON wallpaper is the partner piece to the Kingston wall mural. Inspired by the same original artwork by Muddiman, Kingston recalls the repeating patterns and bright colours of traditional North African tiling. The cyan stripe crossing the wallpaper introduces a modern element that elevates the design and lifts it off the wall. The KINGSTON wallpaper is available in its Original colourway.

Muddiman commented, “my work represents far more than an abstract object. They represent emotion, feeling, protection, paranoia, celebration, and solitude. All emotions I experience daily. I believe my work is a unique version of everything I love.”
Tom Puukko, Founder at FEATHR, commented, “Muddiman’s work is an arresting viewpoint on brutalist architecture. His clever play between structure and colour evokes powerful images with depth and emotion interwoven in on every level. We’re delighted to see his unique perspective translated into such a stunning wallpaper and wall murals collection.”

About Tim Muddiman
Tim Muddiman is an English artist, musician and creative. His work is an exploration of the human condition through contrasts; strength and fragility, depth and height, bold colour and monochrome – always seeking to cast an abstract lens on the familiar and concrete. With disciplines in structure and controlled expressionism, his style has been described as ‘hard-edged, abstract and contemporary’.
“Harnessing and preserving the innocent beauty of a subconscious vision is key to my work. While my paintings are often conceptual and relatable to the design of life, the process is my own continuation of individuation.”
Muddiman has contributed articles to a range of publications including The Independent and the Huffington Post, and served as a longtime member of Gary Numan’s band.
