Today FM commissioned us to create an award for their Best in Ireland Awards 2014, The awards include Best Annual Festival, Cafe, Handyman, and Sausage. The judges for the final event held on the 5th of December included Derval O’Rourke, Evelyn Cusack, Conor Pope and Colm O’Gorman, they awarded the winners in all 12 categories live on the Ray D’Arcy Show with our hand crafted award made in our workshop in Co. Meath. It was made from black Kilkenny marble, clear cast laser engraved acrylic and torched stainless steel. During the making of the award we made a video documenting all aspects that we went through in making each award, see below. Shane Holland, designer of the Croke Park Classic Dan Rooney Trophy, hands over the finished design to Julie Managhan, Marketing Director of Croke Park Stadium. The trophy designed and made in Irish yew, Stainless steel and aluminium replicates the details of the American football helmets cage, the Croke Park roof and an engraving detail inspired by the Book of Kells. The match takes place on August 30th in Croke Park Stadium Shane Holland's Studio produce award winning sculptural pieces, lighting and furniture for corporate and private clients worldwide.

This signed, bespoke piece, measuring 4'6" x 30" is an ideal larger coffee table and costs just over €2000.

If you'd like a similar piece for your interior give our studio a call to discuss a commission for you. The Irish times recently covered the 'Irish Times Innovation Awards' ceremony for which we made the awards. Congratulations to all the finalists and recipients! we hope you're happy with our work! The New Dan Rooney Perpetual Trophy for The Croke Park American Football Classic has been unveiled today! This is our biggest trophy yet using a piece of Bog Yew aged at over 4500 years made in Co Longford and our base structure in Stainless Steel and Aluminium compliments this huge trophy of 27"tall and 10kg in weight. So its going to take some brawn to lift this one but this is not going to be a problem with College teams from Penn State and Florida arriving into Dublin in August to compete for this trophy along with an expected 40,000 travelling fans from the States. Our clients Croke Park Stadium seemed delighted with the result. It has yet to come back to our workshop for final engraving on the raised plinths but we thought you might like this sneak preview. Many hours of forging ,welding and finishing have gone into this one.
