Divine design

Esther N McCarthy on an inspirational exhibition celebrating furniture design.

FURNITURE can be many things. A sturdy table to set your coffee cup on, something practical to store your books, a convenience to eat your food at.

To fully appreciate how furniture can truly transcend to art, how style, function, design and artistry can combine to create a piece of work that is simply beautiful, I recommend you visit the exhibition at Farmleigh Gallery, Phoenix Park, Dublin, celebrating the 25th anniversary of GMIT Letterfrack, the National Centre for Excellence in Furniture Design and Technology.
