Connections consists of a capsule exhibition, a design library and the Design Island photographic exhibition, collectively showcasing the work of over 50 Irish designers and design companies. The exhibition was developed by Irish Design 2015 (ID2015) in partnership with the Trade Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to highlight the quality of Irish design abroad, to forge links with the international design community, drive job creation and grow our export market. 

Connections is part of a programme of linked Irish Embassy network and Enterprise Ireland events that support ID2015’s presence at design festivals and architectural biennales around the world in 2015.
