The new range of articles include a table, a range of stools, handmade wallpapers inspired by drawings of traditional Irish boats, and lighting made in collaboration with basket maker Joe Hogan.
Joe Hogan has about 27 years of experience in basket making for which he has also won international recognition. He is based on the shores of Lough Na Fooey, in the Connemara region.
