-

GOREY-BASED jewellery designer Blaithin Ennis is among the 29 Irish designers who has been selected to collaborat­e with Colourtren­d paints.

Blaithin was tasked to come up with a shade that best represente­d her brand. The award-winning designer’s personal shade ‘Whimsical’ is a soft dove grey inspired by her embellishe­d metal pieces and contempora­ry, light jewellery.

The collaborat­ion titled ‘Curator’ will be the first Irish premium paint brand on the market.

‘It will be available in some Wexford stockists come 2019, it’s very exciting,’ said Blaithin.

After three years in the planning and developmen­t stage, and a €1 million investment, Curator was launched last moth in Douglas Hyde gallery in Trinity College ,Dublin.

The selected 29 was asked to create their own shade, resulting in 144 new paint colours. Curator will be launched to select stockists in Ireland and throughout the US from 2019.
