“I believe passionately in what I do and invest every bit of myself in my ideas. The carving is very labour intensive but it is a labour of love. The work has heart and soul – even if it has a wooden heart. It brings meaning to the

Furniture designer Richard Heffernan learned everything
he knows about wood while making bespoke furniture.
He got his break when one of his shelves featured in the
background of a television programme and the production
company was inundated with requests to buy the shelves.
In the last 12 months he moved into wood work creating sculptural, high-end pieces from modern exotic woods such as maple and cocobolo. The pieces are purely decorative, he explains. Each piece is made by hand from sustainably sourced materials in his Malahide studio.
