Design and craft for the 21st Century at new exhibition

Sustainability, wellbeing and innovation are at the heart of a new design exhibition, writes Carol O’Callaghan.

Design fans who visited last year’s calendar of events as part of the Design and Craft Council of Ireland’s Year of Design can enjoy some legacy events including the Global Irish Design Challenge now taking place at the Coach House, Dublin Castle, until August 27.

Instigated a year ago, the challenge was promoted at international design expositions and across the Irish embassy network, aiming to engage as many internationally based designers as possible.
