Wish List: Cool design for the summer sunshine

Esther N McCarthy's loving the summer sunshine but is also taking time out for some great design in cool city galleries

We love BBQ season, keep shining Mr Sun and we’ll keep burning burgers and charring chicken. If you want to get fancy and make your own burgers, Flying Tiger has this neat press for €3.50. See ie.flyingtiger.com.

I’m a fan of the geo design of this A by Amara Hiddenite candle holder, it’s €22.70 from ie.amara.com.

This incredible piece is by Donegal-based artist Cliodhna Timoney. Her solo visual art exhibition just opened in Triskel Gallery Space in Tobin St, Cork, on Thursday. Don’t miss it. See triskelartscentre.ie for more info.

Anything yellow is always welcome in Wishlist. I spotted this cutie on shop.designist.ie. It’s the Strøm range by Nicholai Wiig-Hansen — known for creating geometric forms paired with strong, vibrant colours. Gorgeous. Prices start at €50.

In Flux opens at the National Design & Craft Gallery in Kilkenny on July 13, opening the exhibition is award winning contemporary ceramist, Sarah Flynn and stunning pieces like this teapot by Etaoin O’Reilly will be on display. Seewww.ndcg.ie.
