A New Opportunity for Freelance Interior Designers!

A Creative Workspace for Interior Designers

At Willie Duggan Lighting, we have always believed that great lighting and great interior design go hand in hand. That’s why we’re excited to launch our new Studio Residency Programme, an opportunity for freelance interior designers in Kilkenny to work from our professional design studio free of charge.

Over the years, we’ve worked alongside talented designers on residential, hospitality, commercial, and architectural projects across Ireland. Through these collaborations, we’ve seen how important the right environment can be for creativity, productivity, and client relationships.

What Does the Studio Residency Programme Include?

We are opening our Kilkenny design studio to a small number of freelance interior designers, giving them access to facilities that are rarely available to independent practitioners.

This includes:

• Dedicated desk space within our working studio
• Fully dressed room sets for client presentations
• Access to our specialist dark room for lighting demonstrations
• Professional meeting rooms
• A collaborative and creative studio environment

Whether you’re meeting clients, developing concepts, or growing your business, the studio provides a professional setting that reflects the quality of your work.

Who Is It For?

The programme is designed for freelance interior designers who:

• Work primarily on residential projects
• Want access to a professional design studio without the overhead costs
• Are based in Kilkenny or the surrounding area
• Value collaboration and creative exchange

Why We’re Doing This

We have a beautiful studio, and we’d love to see it filled with more creative energy!

This isn’t about renting desks. It’s about supporting the interior design community, encouraging collaboration, and creating opportunities for designers to thrive!
