history

...undoubtedly helped us to create contemporary products that speak to today's Irish man and woman.

From the ancient Druids (who influenced our brand logo design), to early Christian creations (such as The Book of Kells); from The Celtic Revival, to ​The Irish Arts and Crafts Movement; we have always sought to enhance our understanding of original Irish craftsmanship.

Borrowing from such cultural resources, we believe, enables our work to emit a distinctive Irish spirit, which combines both the practical and the functional with the aesthetic.

...foreign influences have always helped to shape Ireland’s history and culture, and by extension its design practices. From the avant-garde Dutch graphic design styles of the 1950’s (the above picture has hung in our parent's house for countless years) to the progressive Polish programming processes of the present-day, we have always admired the significant contribution these taste-makers have made, and continue to make to this country, we taking much from such.

...the numerous world-class Irish designers of today for further inspiration and guidance.

...Fashion Designer Louise Kennedy, we gained a greater appreciation of how to balance exquisite detail with understated style.

...Tipperary Crystal, we realised that an unwavering commitment to quality will always be the best business plan.

...Belleek Pottery, we further grasped how to successfully fuse the traditional with the modern.

​...Furniture Designer, Joseph Walsh, we learned to not only continuously challenge technical boundaries, but to blur the lines between art and craft when it’s called for.
