Dublin is teaming with creative minds, super successes and illustrative wunderkind. We decided this year, to showcase some of these leading lights as part of our speaker gift pack and here are some of our highlights.
First up is a new book from Irish designers Workgroup in collaboration with Roads Publishing. The Creative Workplace opens the doors to studios around the world and asks creatives what their workplaces say about them. With brave architectural statements, airy minimalist lofts, and quirky personal touches, The Creative Workplace is a must-have for aspiring creatives and lovers of global design. Super inspirational with some great Irish spots featured too.
Our good friend and all round gas woman, Aoife Dooley is also featured in the gift pack. Aoife is a Dublin-based illustrator who is currently chronicling the life and times of Dublin Huns on her Instagram account. This print, from the series is a highlight, from the treasure-trove that is the best bits from the life and times of a Dublin Hun.
Nothing says Dublin like a good ‘ Howya!’, we love the work of One Strong Arm and we were delighted that they went and produced this one off print for all the speakers. Go check out their work and if you are feeling inspired check out The National Print Museum.
Eeeeeeeeekk… another solid hero of ours! Don’t tell her but we have a complete crush on Lady illustrator living in Dublin and co-creator of Irelandopedia, Fatti Burke. No, that’s not her real name. We were delighted to include her new book in the pack with thanks to Gill, and you can read more about her here and yes we think you should go buy it as well.
Finally no gift pack would be complete with out a bag of golden goodness from Colin and the guys from 3fe. These guys take coffee seriously serious. The supply wholesale coffee to many of the city’s best cafes and restaurants and have a café on Lower Grand Canal Street. They approach coffee in a strict, purist sense with temperatures, sizes and flavours all approached forensically.
