Description
Rising from the open waters beyond Dublin Bay, Kish Lighthouse has stood for generations as a steady guide to sailors navigating Ireland’s shifting coastline. Its unmistakable silhouette, unwavering purpose, and quiet resilience have made it one of the most iconic structures at sea. Now, that same sense of strength and heritage takes physical form in The Kish Lighthouse Board, crafted by hand from beautifully honed slate.
Every piece begins as raw slate that we cut, shape, and refine with purposeful, hands-on precision. As the work progresses, the stone gradually transforms—edges sharpen, surfaces smooth, and natural textures reveal themselves. Through this active, tactile process, each board develops its own identity while maintaining the unmistakable quality associated with SLATED craftsmanship.
Once the surface is perfectly prepared, we carve the Kish Lighthouse with clean, confident lines. This carving creates a vivid connection to the Irish coastline: you can almost feel the wind over the bay, sense the swell beneath the waves, and picture the beam sweeping across the dark water.
Place it on your table and it anchors the room with sculptural presence. Whether displayed as an object of design or used as part of a shared meal, it invites conversation and quietly carries meaning.
For many, Kish represents far more than a lighthouse. It symbolises direction, safety, memory, and a long-standing relationship with the sea. Some recall passing it on childhood ferry journeys, others connect through family stories of maritime work, and many are simply drawn to its lonely beauty on the horizon.
Steady. Enduring. Iconic.
A landmark you can live with—and keep for life.
The Kish Lighthouse Board. A piece of Ireland, forever.
We are delighted to team up with the wonderfully talented artist Killian Fitzpatrick who helped us create our vision of the Kish Lighthouse.
All our slate pieces are cut by hand with a 150 year old slaters knife by Ed Hammond in our studio. Making each piece completely unique. Our beautiful natural slate pieces all have their own individually textured surface, being uniquely ridged or veined. Every product is backed with felt feet to prevent slippage.
Each SLATED piece is hand packed in our signature gift packaging, before making its way to your home to be used and loved.
You can read more about the history of SLATED, we were featured in this lovely article all about our family heritage in The Irish Times.
