Establishment of the Interiors Association

In 2005, Elaine Butler believed there was a place for an Irish professional trade association where interior architects, interior designers and individuals within the design community could come together as a collective. Elaine invited professionals from the Irish interiors industry to a meeting and the Interiors Association (IA) was formed.

The eight founding members were Orla Mahon, Elaine Butler, Sarah Cruise, Mary Ryder, Janine Gunning, Michelle Hetherington, Hilary Duffy and Pilar Landaluce.
