Design tree opens!


The last few days have been a bit mad, hence our lack of posting new blogs. But we are happy to report that the exhibition has been a great success!
Good friend of Irish Design shop, Brian Masterson, was on hand at the opening to photograph all the goings on, check out the results on Brian's blog:

Finally, tomorrow is the last day of the show, and to mark the occasion, we will be screening the classic Hands series. Be sure to drop by for tea and cake (courtesy of Catherine's Bakery, Meath street) if you're in the area, we will be open from 10 am.

As the opening night of the show draws closer, panic will eventually set in. However we are happy to report that we have received all work and have begun displaying it. Pictured, we have Hugo Thompson's piano bench and light. We abandoned him last night as he was only beginning to install his record shelf, so he could still be there.
The to do list gets longer by the hour, but we are lucky to have such wonderful friends and exhibitors all offering their help. Depending how things go, we hope to make an appearance at the cream of Irish design show on the North circular road, so we wish them all the best and hope everything is sorted for their opening night!
One unfortunate bit of news we have is that our list of 30 exhibitors is now down to 29. Leo Scarff has had to drop out of the show, but sure these things happen!
