Creative Island, a specially selected area of authentic products designed and made in Ireland, features 89 exhibitors representing the very best of Ireland’s commercial designer-makers creating new standards in modern heritage and luxury.
Now in its fifth year, this important trade initiative celebrates design and making as two sides of the same coin. The companies have been selected by an independent panel from a wide pool of applicants based on the quality of their products, their design skills and their marketability.
2015 sees Irish design and designers being celebrated and promoted through Irish Design 2015, a year long programme of events and activities in Ireland and internationally. The initiative aims to showcase the very best of Irish design in just about every form, highlighting the quality of Irish design to audiences around the world in order to develop the design and craft sector into the future.
The Design & Crafts Council of Ireland is actively seeking more Irish and international retailers who are keen to promote Irish craft in their stores in a meaningful way. We look forward to helping you do business in 2015.
