PhD Candidate Tracey Dalton, lecturer of BA Interior Design for Dublin School of Art & Design, with be taking us on a journey through her latest research.
Her research primarily focuses on the Irish pub as an exported commodity.
She will focus this talk on the ‘Guinness Irish Pub Concept’, which was created in 1992 by Guinness and McNally Design/Irish Pub Company. Within five years of being created, the Guinness Pub Concept became internationally successful and contributed to changing perceptions of Irish identity. The Irish Pub Company (IPC), which is a Dublin-Based interior design firm, has now designed over 2000 pubs and built over 700 outlets in over 60 countries worldwide.
With her roots firmly in interior design, Tracey will take us on a retrospective reflection of the practices which contributed to the design and process of marketing the Irish pub for export. She builds on existing
literature that centers on the reimagining and commodification of Irish national identity, particularly in the
1990-2009 era.
