Modet was founded by Irish designer Paul O’Brien in 2017. After studying fine art and sculpture in London, O’Brien pursued a career in furniture making, training in Fine Woodwork at the prestigious Building Crafts College in East London. Immediately on graduating, his talent was spotted by the world-renowned Joseph Walsh Studio in County Cork, Ireland, where he honed his craft as one of a select international team of craftsmen.

Modet’s output reflects O’Brien’s unusual combination of fine art training, exceptional craftsmanship and refined design. Since its foundation, the studio has won a number of awards including the Royal Dublin Society Craft Award, Ireland’s largest, most significant craft prize.
