Joseph Walsh founded his studio in Cork in 1999. His experimentation with design and making began at an early age and he is self-taught. Over the years he has pushed the boundaries of working with wood resulting in a significant body of knowledge around the material and its potential.
Walsh’s design approach stemmed from this intimacy with wood, the technique’s he had mastered and the combined potential to create structures and form. Today, this experience and fluency with techniques allows him to start at a more conceptual point and explore its many interpretations.
"I believe we can enhance the quality of our lives by surrounding ourselves with objects that possess values beyond their function or aesthetic, that possess intelligence in their creation, that one can interact with and that will stimulate senses each and every time one engages with them."- Joseph Walsh.
