why

designist was created by designers, schemers and plotters Barbara Nolan & Jennie Flynn.

We imagined filling the market for gift & homeware with products developed by an identifiable designer. In our store you won’t find generic mass produced objects. You will pick up an item, find out about its designer and really engage with the product. Every single thing has a story, no product is average. Living with our products may not solve the world’s problems but will make your day to day life more interesting.

are you designist?

We’re looking to source new products to add to our range. The product specification is: beautiful, useful products that can retail for under €100.

We stock lighting, table ware, stationary, plant containers, glasses, storage items, wall items, kitchen ware, toys, but these categories are constantly expanding. What all of the items have in common is that they are innovative, practical, make efficient use of materials and have a definite design perspective. Our preference is for manufactured products over handmade items for consistency and efficiency of production.

If you have a product, or an idea for a product that fits within this criteria please get in touch – designer@designist.ie
