Michael Lunt

Michael Lunt designed for several leading Dublin advertising agencies during the 1950s and 1960 until he became an independent graphic designer in 1968. His experience spans a period of technological revolution: from early days working with T-squaes and metal type to today’s digital world.

Roadstone, and later CRH of which Roadstone was a founder member, became Michael Lunt’s principal client and patron. He designed his first Roadstone Calendar in 1962, continuing with the commission for the next forty-nine years. The Roadstone calendar hung in thousands of Irish homes and businesses, and the art reflects the artist’s love of Ireland’s built heritage.

Michael Lunt also taught design at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art and Technology, while executing major projects for AIB and IDA and creating the initial design for the magazine Technology Ireland for the IIRS.

Having spent most of his working life in Dublin, Michael Lunt is now retired and lives in Wexford.
