Retroworkx is an Irish handmade brand focused on creating distinctive lighting using copper and gunbarrel pipe. Inspired by industrial design and retro aesthetics, each lamp is crafted to combine function with strong visual impact.
Every piece is carefully designed and assembled by hand, using quality repurposed materials that develop character over time. The natural finish of copper and the rugged look of gunbarrel pipe give each lamp a unique presence, making it as much a feature piece as it is a source of light.
Retroworkx, embraces the imperfections and individuality that come with handmade work. No two lamps are exactly the same, and that uniqueness is part of what defines the brand.
Designed to suit modern, industrial, and vintage-inspired interiors, these lamps are ideal for homes, offices, or as standout gifts. Retroworkx is about creating bespoke lighting solutions that are practical, durable, and visually striking—pieces that are made properly and built to last.

Meet Sarah , the creative mind behind Tuft-Art by Yellow. She lives and works in Arigna — a historic mining village in County Roscommon — where industry, landscape and nature merge to form a rich backdrop for her art.
Sarah’s medium of choice is tufting: she creates original, one-of-a-kind wall art pieces. Her style is abstract, yet deeply rooted in natural forms and the landscape around her. Inspired by the textures, colours and rhythms of her environment, she translates that into tufted surfaces which invite closer inspection and tactile engagement.

At Wild Atlantic Timbercraft, we craft more than furniture and lighting — we craft stories, rooted in nature and shaped by time. Based in Ballyheigue, County Kerry, along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, our work reflects the rugged coastline that inspires us. Each piece is made by hand from three distinct materials: Bog Oak, recycled timber, and driftwood.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We source our materials locally, giving new life to driftwood and reclaimed timber that might otherwise be discarded. Every mark and grain tells a story, ensuring that no two creations are ever the same. What truly sets our work apart, however, is our use of Bog Oak. This rare and ancient wood, preserved in Irish bogs for thousands of years, carries history within its dark grain. By shaping it into functional art, we’re not only celebrating its natural beauty but also preserving a fragment of Ireland’s past.
Our pieces — from rustic benches and dining tables to sculptural lamps and... More
