Joseph Walsh:

Out of the steam tube comes Joseph Walsh's collection. So sexy that the bath houses of Venice would weep for more. Joseph thank you so much for contributing these fine works to enhance our lives in ways you cant imagine. One of my favorite furniture designers of all time.

Selected Media

"Barely 31, The Irish Craftsman Joseph Walsh has become one of the most sought after names in furniture, his distinctive free flowing style and sinuous curvilinear forms makes his work highly coveted by collectors and museums alike."
Bespoke person, Financial Times - How To Spend It, March 2011

"Irish born designer Joseph Walsh falls into the "I don’t know how he does it" category. Self taught, his work manages to be sensually stunning and technically brilliant at the same time..."
The Wall Street Journal. April 2011

"Joseph Walsh expresses his passion and imagination through his work ethic and commitment to exploring the depth and potential of wood as structure, form, material, technology and ecology. His work is a testament to the beauty of pursuing the mastery of a material and exploring a life’s work by learning from each experience. His wood pieces move like the wind, bend like paper, mold like clay and have the strength of bone. We continue to be delighted by the potential wood has and await every project Walsh does to rediscover this material wonder."
Yatzer, September 2010
