'The Designer Of Things' - Lighthouses of Ireland Vintage Mug
Bert's story
How it all came about....
Bert, The Designer of Things, is a multi-disciplined graphic designer and architectural artist.
On a mission to illustrate all 80 working lighthouses around the Irish coast there's 55 Irish lighthouses in the collection so far.
There is such a beauty to these towers, and how they stand over the ocean. I am gobsmacked by how these structures were created 150 to 200 years ago. How and where they were built is just utterly fascinating. I'm especially drawn to any of the lighthouses that were built on rocky islands in these crazily remote locations
Considering the time they were built in and the tools available at the time, not to mention the sheer scale of it when you are near them it is awe-inspiring.
This vintage style ceramic mug features 13 iconic Irish lighthouses, making it the perfect addition to any coffee or tea ritual. Built to last with a handle that's comfortable to hold and keeping your drinks warm - making it the ideal companion for morning coffees, afternoon teas, or evening hot chocolates.
