Slated Tara Hammond
Snug Conor Kelly & Nell Roddy
Studio Donegal Tristan Donaghy
Tara and Ed Hammond began Slated when Ed, a trained roofer, created a table runner from slate for a dinner party with friends. Using 150-year-old methods and skills, success has been accidental but steady for the couple, their tableware becoming popular with Harvey Nichols’ Dublin eaterie and Nevin Maguire’s restaurant in Blacklion, TV shows and cookbooks.
Nell Roddy and Conor Kelly are the people behind Snug, a contemporary range of covetable but affordable Irish-made furniture, made in Snugboro, in the Glen of Imaal in Co. Wicklow. Simplicity and functionality are their inspiration, making objects they would want in their own home.
Studio Donegal is a traditional handweaving and clothing business which also sells upholstery fabrics, throws and cushion covers. Studio Donegal was set up by the Donaghy family 30 years ago to maintain the Donegal tradition of handweaving.

The Brendan Joseph Studio Brendan Joseph
After successfully stocking their pared-back tables and benches internationally in 2010, Superfolk’s Gearóid Muldowney and Jo Anne Butler returned to the drawing board to scale down their ideas and production. Working outside Westport, Co. Mayo, they design a collection of tableware and occasional furniture, folding tables and stools.
With an international portfolio of design (Macy’s, Estée Lauder, Victoria’s Secret, A-Wear, Liz Claiborne, Anthropologie) under her belt, Susannagh Grogan launched her own label in 2009. It now includes digitally printed silk scarves, wool scarves, large leather clutches and gloves in printed soft Italian leather.
Brendan Joseph is a hand weaver of scarves and ties. He has written computer programmes to create highly textured, fine gauge loomed accessories, often carrying up to 5,000,000 stitches in one piece. His new collection is woven in silk and natural, undyed linen, creating light and dark textures.
