This week we feature handmade jewellery by Naoi, prints and homewares by Urban Fabric and beautiful scarves by Lou Brennan.
Naoi

We’ve seen lots of bold colourful jewellery at Showcase over the past few years with materials from clay to Perspex® being used to create some cool and quirky designs but Naoi strikes us as a little bit different.
The small home studio business founded by self taught creator Namintha Rajan features colourful handmade accessories that are made from wood and paper and feature distinct hand painted designs.
Rajan says that her jewellery is “all about starting a conversation and making a statement with the use of bright and bold colours combined with organic and geometric shapes”.
While the laser cutting of the wooden components is outsourced the decoration and assembly of the pieces is done in house by Rajan in order to maintain the great standard of each product.

Urban Fabric

Drawing on her background in architecture, Orla Hickey set up her art business, Urban Fabric in 2018. The artist produces colourful fine art paintings and drawings which are inspired by streetscapes and iconic Irish buildings.
Always inspired by her surroundings, and based in rural Co. Limerick, Hickey’s latest designs include a range of botanic pieces inspired by memories of time spent in her grandparents’ garden as a child. From this, she has created a lovely range of Irish Botanical Coasters featuring hand drawn illustrations of common garden flowers.
At this year’s Showcase, Orla will be showing a wide range of her framed prints of Ireland including sketches of Bunratty Castle, the Cliffs of Moher and Christ Church Cathedral as well as her new range of coasters.
