The Global Irish Design Challenge exhibition at The Coach House, Dublin Castle, offers an insight into the impact that design and innovation has on shaping and improving the way that we live. The idea grew from a desire to seek out designers and innovators who are driven to find solutions to the challenges humanity faces. Centred around themes of sustainability, wellbeing, sense of place and innovation, designers of Irish lineage or with a strong affiliation to Ireland submitted projects that address societal issues or provide an ingenious solution to a problem. Presented by the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland in partnership with the OPW, this exhibiton marks the culmination of the Global Irish Design Challenge which was launched last year as part of Irish Design 2015.
