A modern retreat on the edge of Ireland
Breac House, North West Donegal
It was an honour and pleasure to be part of this wonderful project. Award-winning Breac House is a modern retreat on Horn Head, Co. Donegal. Care and consideration was given to every detail to create a place that is truly special.
The owners worked with a selection of Irish designers and makers to craft pieces especially for this project, creating a space where each piece brings its own story.
This solid oak sideboard was made for the central lounge and relaxation space, housing a coffee machine, record player, glasses and servery items. A large piece at 2.4mtrs, and with a solid oak construction this is a durable, long-lasting piece of furniture that will age with character.
Our piano black Jack-in-the-Box Lamp was an addition that sits nicely on top and is a lovely surprise for guests when they return in the evening to discover the box open displaying a warm-light LED bulb .
Reading chairs reflecting the colour and shape of Muckish mountain in the distance.
A subsequent brief was to design reading chairs for the rooms. The concept that was created was a pair of chairs that could be nestled into the corner of the room as a sofa, but the individual chairs could also be easily moved for guests to sit and read while enjoying the splendid view back into Donegal. The shape and colour reflect that of Muckish Mountain which is seen from the rooms.
We worked with a traditional chair maker and upholsterer in Co. Monaghan to make the chairs using time-honoured techniques. The linen fabric was specially chosen by Breac House and was from Ulster Weavers.
