Embracing the Spirit of Limerick: A Story of Light, Craft, and Connection

In the heart of Limerick, we wove together a unique design story that blended texture, colour, and local community into a single spellbinding customer experience. Led by Dean Concannon and Annita Liasi, the vision for Nando’s Limerick began with an exploration of materiality—layering bricks, 3D tiles, concrete, and fabric to create a rich, tactile canvas.

Key Features

With a soaring 6.5m ceiling to work with, we partnered with Ashanti Design in South Africa to craft 32 bespoke pendants.
Each pendant is handwoven, each pattern unique, celebrating the individuality of the artisans behind them.
Every light carries a story of craft, culture, and connection.
The bespoke pendants were created using 585kg of upcycled cotton a material once destined for landfill.
Our design delivered 3D tiles, concrete, and fabric to create a rich, tactile canvas.
Each pendent offers a vibrant presence energising the space and creating a powerful focal point visible from every level.
Not just design but magic with meaning.

But the true transformation hangs above. With a soaring 6.5m ceiling to work with, we partnered with Ashanti Design in South Africa to craft 32 bespoke pendants from 585kg of upcycled cotton—material once destined for landfill, now reborn in a dance of colour and light. Each pendant is handwoven, each pattern unique, celebrating the individuality of the artisans behind them. Their vibrant presence energises the space, creating a powerful focal point visible from every level.

This wasn’t just design—it was magic with meaning. The project empowered 35 weavers, expanding Ashanti’s team and creating lasting community impact. Every light carries a story of craft, culture, and connection.
We don’t just design spaces—we transform them into living narratives and in Limerick, we turned a ceiling into a sky full of stories.

It was an amazing experience to work closely with Ashanti and being part of the process and see all the hard work that the weavers put into it. That made this project a lot more meaningful and personal to me.
