Set up in 2011 Peter Sheehan Studio takes a wide angle view of design, making, craft and art. In doing this Peter is exploring the origins of design and material culture; the essence of the object; mixing digital, machine & handmade methods; experimenting across categories; playing with conventional and new design principles. All while drinking far too much coffee and collecting found objects and designed artefacts - whether his own recently created concept models or prehistoric tools that have been picked up on his travels. In 2011 Peter collaborated on the design of a chair with Cathal Loughnane, supported by Joseph Walsh, The History chair was selected by Wallpaper* magazine for inclusion in the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition in Milan in 2012.
