Eoghann utlisies his unique eye and insight into early 20th-century design – in particular the Arts and Crafts movement, and traditional Scottish styles – to design and produce exceptional furniture and functional art.
Each item is created from a passion to transform even the most ordinary objects into something beautiful, while also achieving harmony in our homes and creating pieces that will last a lifetime. From the drawing board to the final coat of oil, Eoghann is involved in every stage of production. Every design utilises a variety of traditional skills, such as beaten copper and leaded glass, uses a range of sustainably sourced materials, and imbues decor with meaning.
