Pat Murphy
Pat is a self-taught woodworker who has developed and honed his skills over the past number of years. After a stint of running the family butchers, he chose to turn is hobby into a career. He strives to capture the natural colour of the timbers he uses, giving a beautiful raw tactility to his bespoke pieces.
Each piece is lovingly handmade and finished in his workshop in Kildorrery, Co.Cork.
Our Story
Clare Grennan and Laura Caffrey established Irish Design Shop in 2008. A love of Irish craft and good design led these two jewellers to set up a retail space which offered customers both. Irish craft was witnessing a revival at this time, with a new breed of Irish designer/maker producing exciting, design-led products which embraced traditional and new techniques.
