Cianán Doyle - Designer-Maker

Cianán Doyle is a designer-maker based in Dublin. In his current body of work he uses stainless steel, wood and silver to create a selection of unique tableware pieces. He draws his inspiration from both graffiti artwork and oriental design.

Cianán is currently working on establishing his own workshop and creating a new range of lighting and furniture designs.
According to Cianán “he has always been interested in craft and working with his hands, therefore studying a craft course was an obvious choice for him. The inspiration for his work comes from the graffiti subculture, architecture and minimalist design. ”

In 2009, he was selected for the Craft Council of Ireland Craft Awards and took part in both the “Generation” exhibition and the travelling exhibition organised by the Craft Council of Ireland.
