Design Kenmare grew organically from the town’s thriving creative design and maker community.
Early in 2025 Adrian Duyn - furniture maker and Eamonn O’Sullivan - graphic designer joined forces with photographer Norman McCloskey , hotelier Patrick Hanley and Naoise Nunn of cultural festival specialists Schweppe Curtis Nunn to develop the concept.
They were joined by Natalie Moriarty - graphic designer, Liz O'Sullivan - textile designer and Maureen Gudgeon - festival producer, to build the 3 day programme for the inaugural Design Kenmare Festival November 14 - 16, 2025.
Working with the wider Le Chéile network, they curated an exceptional international line-up — a roster of speakers rarely seen together at one Irish event.
