The Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) is the Irish national agency for the commercial development of its designers and makers, stimulating innovation, championing design thinking and informing government policy. DCCI’s vision is that Ireland is recognised and valued for its culture of design and craft.
The 12 makers showing at Collect are selected from DCCI’s Portfolio Critical Selection 2021–22. This is an initiative featuring makers who display excellence in craftsmanship, design, innovation and creative quality as judged by an independent expert panel. The judges for this edition were Jean Blanchaert, Debra Finn, Juliana Cavaliero, and Alice Stori Liechtenstein who has also curated DCCI’s stand at Collect.
