ID2015
Irish Design 2015 (ID2015) is a year-long celebration and initiative exploring, promoting and celebrating Irish design in just about every form. Some 300 design events and exhibitions are planned across the country, showcasing the diversity of Irish design (and designers) to local and global audiences.
Irish design has never been leveraged to the extent that it could be in selling the island – at least not to the same extent as landscape, food or history. The flagship exhibition, Irish Design Here/Now opens in Dublin Castle in July.
