When Joseph Walsh was eight years old he fell in love with wood. Four years later, after leaving school for what was meant to be a temporary break, he turned to furniture making full-time and never looked back. Now, at age 29, Walsh runs his own studio in the countryside near Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland, with nine people working for him. He has established himself as a designer/craftsman in Ireland, well-known not just for his furniture, but increasingly for his art installations as well.
