Copperfish Lighting will launch its new “Liberties” lighting collection at Showcase, Ireland’s creative expo taking place from the 22nd-24th of January at the RDS, Dublin.
 
The Liberties collection comprises a family of floor, table and wall lights blending modern design with traditional inspiration.
 
The Liberties is an old bustling district that sprung up outside Dublin's old city walls. For hundreds of years, an independent-minded community of merchants, brewers and distillers have thrived here.
 
The base of the Liberties lamps is made from old beams reclaimed from a building in the Liberties area of Dublin. The long bulb with meandering filament sits within a copper pipe that borrows from the distillers and brewers that have been at the heart of the Liberties for hundreds of years.  
 
Maker and designer Eoin Shanley said “Every lamp we make is inspired by a story and that is usually the origin of my designs.  This Collection uses the reclaimed timber from the Liberties as the starting point and then the copper connects back to the brewing industry which was and still is such a huge part of that area of Dublin”.
 
The collection comprises four lamps made by hand in Copperfish’s workshop in Rathnew in Co. Wicklow; a floor lamp standing over 155cm in height retailing at €625, a small table lamp retailing at €345, a statement wall light which extends to 100cms high and retails for €575 and a smaller wall sconce retailing at €275.

Copperfish will be at stand C39 in the DCCI area of Showcase taking place in the RDS in Dublin from the 22^nd-24^th of January. 
 
Each lamp is unique and the colour and finish of the materials used will vary from lamp to lamp. All Copperfish lamps are made by hand using time honoured skills and the finest materials in our workshop in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow.   
 
Lamps will be available to purchase online at www.copperfish.ie or can be seen in Copperfish’s showroom in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow. All of our lamps are made from reclaimed or salvaged timber and packaged in sustainable cardboard packaging with environmentally friendly LED bulbs.
