Exploring the universal notion of time are five high-profile names from the world of contemporary design and advanced architecture: Abi Alice, Giulio Lacchetti, Daniel Libeskind, Studio Job and Mario Trimarchi.

Try saying that before five espressos. We love this corner-mounted clock in thermoplastic resin by the bold Giulio Lacchetti. €75.

Get a load of this gloriously colourful, handmade, bespoke rug, it’s 100% wool and 100% gorgeous. 160cm diameter but it can be made to order in different colour scheme. It’s called Bloom, costs €1,300, and it’s from Kilkenny-based company, Artefakt Rugs.

Check out Bruce, he loves to juice. Head first he goes into the lemon, orange, grapefruit twisting and turning until every last drop has been extracted. Nice one, Bruce. €16 from www.animicausa.com

Check out this marvellous marble print cushion. It’s from the Carolyn Donnelly Eclectic collection at Dunnes Stores nationwide for €30.

The Brown Thomas homeware sale is on at the moment, and this K Mix Stand Mixer KMX50G was €500, is reduced to €350, in stores and online too at www.brownthomas.com
