Despite its small size and population, Ireland and Irish culture have made a lasting impression around the world beyond the mass appeal of their St. Patrick’s traditions.
While you may think of hand-carved furniture when you think of Irish design, you may want to think again: the interior design world in Ireland is currently undergoing a renaissance of sorts.
Avant-garde boutique hotels, extraordinary contemporary homes and inventive retail spaces are popping up across the country, reflecting Ireland’s newfound confidence in design.
Here are some interior designers leading the Irish design renaissance.
