WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS...

This year's HD Expo in Las Vegas featured unparalleled involvement from Clodagh Signature with the launch of four new Clodagh Signature collections. This year Clodagh launched new product in the categories of lighting, broadloom and tile carpet, hardware, and commercial contract furniture for hospitality.

Products debuting at the show included the Tucson Collection by Bentley Prince Street, the TRIBAL collection by Du Verre, and The Primitive, Wrapped and Flipped collections with Visual Comfort.
In their very first collaboration, Mark David and Clodagh launched a collection of commercial contract furniture as part of their "Masters Collection".

"My belief in the universality of design has led me to explore every field that I can", says Clodagh in reference to her excitement in moving closer to her goal of designing product in line with the Clodagh aesthetic across a wide spectrum of consumer goods. She explains that 'whatever comes across (her) table is seen as an opportunity to apply (her) passion for creating attractive, durable, environmentally-minded products for a variety of uses.'
