Joseph Walsh established his studio in 1999 in County Cork, Ireland, however his experimentation with making began at an early age and he is self-taught. He has traveled extensively to the workshops of other designers and makers, to museums and galleries, observing at all times, studying and learning.
Joseph Walsh sees his work as transcending design and art, guided only by the sensitive use of materials, excellence in the making, and purity in structure and form. The issues addressed within his work are explored through the development of a series of concepts, realized in the creation of his limited edition Selected Works and Bespoke one-of-a-kind Commissions. Within the ‘Figure & Form’ concept a number of Selected Works are represented including ‘Sanagi’ - now available exclusively from Studio Contemporary. Bespoke pieces may also be commissioned.
The extraordinary quality of Joseph Walsh's craftsmanship has been widely recognized through inclusion in numerous collections and participation in international exhibitions while his work has received the critical attention of curators, academics and the media. “Joseph Walsh one of the finest young talents in the world of studio furniture today, with one of the brightest futures” says Mr. Merrill.
