2019 is set to be an incredibly exciting year for the 100 Archive, as we prepare to take an even closer look at contemporary Irish design and the individuals, studios, clients and collaborators who make it happen. We are in the midst of assembling a team of researchers, designers and videographers for ‘Mapping Irish Design,’ a project funded by Creative Ireland that will examine the impact of design on Irish society. Simply by chatting with a bunch of different designers, we can uncover a host of interesting stories, new technologies, unique obsessions and a wide range of insights. And so, as the 2018 archive submissions pour in, once again we are taking the opportunity to chat with some of the younger and newer members of the 100 Archive about their work, careers and experiences so far.
