Self taught, Fiona specialises in performance and live events, most notably working with highly acclaimed theatre and events company, THISISPOPBABY.

Fiona has a great eye, capable of capturing and expressing performances in a single shot or catching subjects off guard in a warm, intimate fashion. It's been a pleasure to work with her and get lost in her work as we tried to do our own.

Hiberform is a new collection of screens, sculptural structures and furniture products designed for use in offices, hospitality, retail and domestic spaces.

These designs have been created for contemporary spaces, where clean lines, functional and colourful structures are required to give vibrancy to the interior.

Our room dividers are available in a range of sizes and colours to suit any interior scheme and can be configured in dramatic yet practical layouts. Our design team can also create custom solutions and modifications to any product and our high tech production network enables an efficient, high quality supply chain.

Hiberform

Congratulations Leo & best of luck with the new range.

It premiered last weekend (Saturday 12 November 2011) as part of the Corona Cork Film Festival. We were delighted to be approached by Tom & Shane to design the credits for the film.

The Fisherman follows Pat Walker as he climbs the high hill of Bull na Mór, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to honour his father Pake Walker’s memory and to contemplate a life spent at sea.

The film was directed and edited by Tom Burke. Tom Burke and Patrick Bolger shared Director of Photography duties. Shane Hogan produced and Gerry Horan composed the music.

In their own words;

The purpose of Design Week is to highlight the important contribution that good design makes to the cultural, economic and social life of Ireland by fostering a reputation for creative excellence and innovation. The week involves seminars, workshops, lectures, trails and exhibitions across the island of Ireland.

Associate designed the 2011 brochure, which you should find in your hands at some point.  We created a series of covers featuring iconic objects like the bucket – maybe you could collect them?

We've also updated some older projects which we re-shot with photographer Seán Jackson – we're especially fond of what he did with the Spollo print. 

If anything takes your fancy, why not email or and let us know?

Seán is a people focused photographer based between Dublin and London. He has worked all over the world and with some of Europe's leading photographers as well as some of the biggest names in international music, film, literature and fashion.

Seán has a gorgeous portfolio – from fashion and music to portraiture, landscapes and abstract pieces. We liked his work so much that we asked him to shoot our own porfolio, so you'll see the fruits of that around the site in the coming weeks as we take care of some long overdue updates.
