Angela and Sandra look back at Irish design, past and present, as they trace the beginnings of the modern Irish design. Long before words like ‘design’ or ‘brand’ were ever uttered in Ireland, we had our own unique way of doing and making things; traditional crafts and distinctive buildings told a uniquely Irish story. The first episode in the series features some of Ireland’s most accomplished traditional craft makers – from Joe Hogan’s basket designs to Seamus Gill’s silverwork – as well as Irish designers whose work has found a global audience, like Orla Kiely, and award-winning architects who talk about their Irish influences as they write the next chapter in Ireland’s design story.
