Tullamore designer represented Ireland at craft fair in London

Tullamore native furniture designer John Farrell has represented Ireland at Collect, an international craft and design fair taking place in London.

The exhibition took place from February 28 to March 2 in Somerset House, and acted as a vibrant setting where museums and art advisors acquire for contemporary collections, and where interior designers select work with clients looking to enrich their lives through craft.

John was selected as one of 14 artists and makers to represent Ireland the fair, each a craftsperson in their discipline from woodturning to ceramics.

Forty leading galleries, dealers and collectives represented over 400 of the most exciting contemporary artists, gathered at Collect 2025 from over 30 countries from across the globe: UK, Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Middle East.

The Design & Craft Council Ireland (DCCI) supported by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, worked in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs, and Crafts Council UK to display this spectacular exhibition of Irish work in London.
