About us

Copperfish is an award winning family business, based in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, that creates beautiful lighting from salvaged and storm-fallen timber. 

 

Established in 2016 by Eoin Shanley, the seeds for the business were sown during the restoration of a 200-year-old thatched cottage a few years earlier.  Following conservation best practices, Eoin and his wife Yvonne used local, traditional and salvaged materials to lovingly and painstakingly restore the cottage.  While Yvonne researched conservation and sustainable materials, Eoin began working with old, salvaged wood under the tutelage of a former coach builder and master joiner.  

When they found it difficult to find lighting that they liked, Eoin started to make his own using the skills he had learnt with materials he had to hand. Very quickly he started to get requests from friends and family and soon after, Copperfish was born.

​Copperfish lamps and lights are now sold in leading design and interior stores in Ireland.  In 2019 Copperfish was one of 5 brands selected to represented the Irish Design Council of Ireland at New York’s Shoppe Object event and in 2020 Copperfish was shortlisted in the UK Gift of the Year awards. Copperfish has been a member of the Irish Design and Crafts Council since 2017 and has been selected for Design Ireland every year since 2018.

 

Every piece continues to be designed and made by hand in Co. Wicklow using beautiful old timber selected for its provenance and character.
