Born and raised in West Cork, Terry O'Driscoll studied and qualified in interior design in the UK (NDA-accredited), and has since returned home to create Plad, combining his unique design and decoration services with designing and producing a range of locally made hand-crafted home furnishings.

Terry regularly contributes articles to some of Ireland's leading interiors magazines as a free-lance writer.

Design is something that Terry has always been passionate about, and something that we are all more conscious of now. His ambition for Plad is to provide excellent design that

• is aesthetically pleasing
• functions well
• is environmentally sensitive
• integrates with its natural, domestic, social or public space

The key to this, as with most things in life, is simplicity.

Plad has more than an extensive portfolio of satisfied clients - it has also received high profile press coverage for its interior design and furnishings collection including two prestigious front covers and "One of the Ten inspirational shots of the year" in Homes, Interiors and Living ( Ireland's largest selling interiors and lifestyle magazine). Munster Interiors and the UK's high profile Ideal Home magazine have both featured Plad design projects also.

Dulux chose two interiors designed by Plad to show-case their range of Dulux Colour Card brochures. Plad is delighted to be associated with the country's leading brand name in paint and colour products. For more information, or to order Dulux Colour Cards, visit the Dulux website.

Plad's distinctive logo represents the colours of West Cork and its numerous peninsulas, lighthouses and beacons. This natural beauty is a constant source of inspiration for Plad's design concepts.
