The PIVOT Dublin team (Red&Grey Design, Emma Curley, Areaman Productions, Dr. Linda King and Dublin City Council) were awarded a Special Outstanding Contribution to Design in Ireland award last night by the Institute of Designers in Ireland. The IDI Awards each year celebrate the best of Irish design.
Having created Dublin’s bid for World Design Capital Bob Gray and Emma Curley were asked by Budapest Design Week to curate Irelands contribution to their 2011 headline exhibition.
The exhibition COULEUR LOCALE:THE COLOURS OF EUROPE IN OBJECTS asked the question Does the design culture of different countries have unique characteristics? Having explored every aspect of design culture and infrastructure to emerging design industries and public investment in design we decided to choose three themes and relate a piece of Irish design to each theme. The objects curated were Hurley Table, 2007 by Gordon Byrne (Theme: Storytelling), ‘RE.TREAT’, 2009 by Úna Burke (Theme: Observation) and Infinite Objects by Mcor Technologies, 3D print (Theme: Ideas visualized).

How does a witty, loudmouth Yank with two degrees and an over-inflated ego end up slinging lattés on Harcourt Road? And how does it take a design studio over a year to design a poster for said barista extraordinaire? Great coffee, and a great one woman show, that’s how. Through monologue, improv and the dark art of foam ornamentation, barista Jenna Logan lays bare the hidden side of café work, and in the process tries to reconcile the gap between where she thought she’d be and where she is. All This and A Hill of Beans is a show for anyone who suspects that their true potential may not yet be fully realised.
