Continuing with Samuel Beckett, here’s a fun fact you might not know: despite being celebrated as one of Ireland’s greatest literary figures, Beckett also had a strong connection to sports. He was an accomplished cricket player in his youth and even remains the only Nobel Prize–winning author to be listed in Wisden, the famous cricket almanack. A reminder that creativity and athletic spirit can beautifully coexist!

First, when we started the Icon Project—before the concept of The Icon Walk even came to mind—we began with the first drawings of Irish writers. Previous attempts had already been made by artists taking part in different projects, but once we secured a location, the writers were the first.

We want our art to be produced locally, using eco-friendly and recyclable materials. We value originality and believe our copyrighted ideas deserve recognition — so we can give back to the artists, support their unique visions, and celebrate their creativity.

At The Icon Factory, we've always supported emerging artists. Over the years, we've worked closely with creatives to design products that celebrate the heart of Irish culture — something we deeply cherish.

We will continue this mission, collaborating with artists on their original ideas and creations. Follow us to discover more about the talented people we work with.

In the near future, we will share ideas, products we’re already collaborating on — and welcome new creatives joining The Icon Factory.
Our goal is simple: to keep supporting artists and creativity. We believe art should remain local, unique, and meaningful.
