Design Week 08



Loving the gin cocktails at the launch of Design Week with Bombay Sapphire were: 1. Barry Shellin and Deirdre Doherty; 2. Cathy Lannigan and Jessica O’Hanlon; 3. Becky Russell and Roisin Lafferty.


The elite of Dublin’s socialites and design community turned out in force to toast the launch of the country’s most prestigious design event, the launch of Bombay Sapphire Design Week, at the National Gallery of Ireland. Internationally-acclaimed design guru, and iconic interiors, furniture and lighting designer, Tom Dixon jetted into Dublin exclusively for one night only to speak to compelled guests on his illustrious design career.


The launch of Design Week 2008, in association with Bombay Sapphire, proved bigger and better than ever before, with guests hanging on every word of the charismatic Dixon, who provided a humorous insight into his diverse and fascinating career.


Those who attended included Darren Kennedy, Barbara Connell, Mairead Nic Ghiolla Phadraig and Laura Fletcher. Faces from the world of interiors including Alexander Fitzgerald, Amanda Cochrane, Eleanor Flegg, Richard Harris and Eimear Nic an Bhaird.
