Light Fantastic
Light up your world and visit design at its best, 19 Irish
lighting designers will come together to showcase their latest work at The
Malthouse Design Centre. The event will run for two weeks from may17th to 31st
and is open to the public.
Inspirational designers are launching their ranges, some for
the first public viewing such as Kathryn Payne and Aislinn Lynch who have been
working with the Mentorship Academy at the Malthouse set up by Duff/Tisdall;
while other designers are well established and already exporting all around the
world.
Rachel O’Neill from Banbridge in Northern Ireland has an
exciting copper finish range of chandeliers, very much in demand on the west
coast of America. Shane Holland has just completed a striking commission for a
client in Montpelier, France. Furniture designers Cillian Johnson and Pat
Casserley extend their furniture ranges to include warm wood featured lights to
compliment the home. Young designers Fiona Snow and Klickety challenge the
versatility of cut-out coloured shaped lamps at affordable prices. Glasshammer
and Sasha Sykes use translucency of glass and resin to create interesting
nature-inspired chandeliers and table lamps. Locker13 Shane Wilson and Karl
Metcalfe use clever re-invention of the common day Comfort fabric conditioner bottle
to recreate a featured lamp. Other featured designers include Niki Collier,
Anthony Cleary, Jennifer Slattery, Nostalgia, Mel Bradley, Mint Design and
Kooyong design.
