Cork designer Joseph Walsh builds an international reputation

Cork-born furniture designer Joseph Walsh has built an international reputation in just over 16 years for making pieces that embody the definition of design as a combination of beauty and utility.

It also reflects the ability of Walsh and his team to handle materials— usually wood — and bend them to the will of a vivid design imagination that has seen tables, shelves and beds produced to museum quality, while retaining function.

A resin base supports a Connemara marble table top in the Exilumen I, which is a departure from the woodworking synonymous with the studio.
