About Haelo Design
Who is HAELO DESIGN?
Haelo is a multidisciplinary design practice founded in 1994 by conceptual designer Helen Maria Nugent and architect Ron Kirkpatrick.
What is HAELO DESIGN about?
Comprehensive, original and poetic designs derived from creative research, a finely tuned aesthetic, in-depth material explorations, and ecological awareness.
We believe good design is a dynamic synthesis of utility, matter, context and delight. Our work includes furniture, objects, site-specific commissions, lighting, installations, and consulting services.
What can HAELO DESIGN can do for you?
- Create a range of original pieces that aren't afraid to be used or noticed.
- Original object and furniture design by commission.
- Lighting design: from functional and decorative fixtures to lighting plans and specifications.
- Hybrid practices: cross-disciplinary projects that defy standard labels.
- Exhibition design, Interior environments and Architectural services.
- Realize design concepts using a combination of traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge digital fabrication tools.
