JOSEPH WALSH
FURNITURE MAKER
Joseph Walsh established his studio near Kinsale in the south-west of Ireland in 1999. Over this 10 year period he has established an international reputation for his studio furniture and concept works, exhibiting at many international design fairs. In 2008 he was invited to present his first international solo show, Realisations, at the American Irish Historical Society on Fifth Avenue New York.
In 2009, at the Pavilion of Art & Design London, UK, Walsh launched work from his new concept Formations and Layering, which he has been developing since 2008. This body of work explores layers, repeated accumulated mass and the recording of time. Other events of note have included Design Miami/Basel, SOFA and Grassimesse, Germany. The studio works on international commissions for private, corporate and museum clients including a major work for the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, who in 2008 invited just ten artists worldwide to create new work for the Museum’s new Gallery of Craft + Design which opened in 2010. His work is in many private and public collections including the National Museum of Ireland; John H Bryan Collection, Illinois, USA; Paul Stuart New York, USA; Duke of Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth House, Bakewell, England and the Embassy of Japan, Dublin.
The unique value of Walsh’s work lies in its aesthetic and the extremely high quality of making and structural resolve. Over 11 years of making he has created a unique skills base and accumulation of knowledge of materials and making techniques within his workshop environment.
