Wish List: Iconic Egg chairs, parkas for pooches and a table in a box
These iconic designer chairs had an estimate of €2,000-€3,000 each recently. See more at deVeres.ie.
Just looking at these chairs makes me happy — and deeply envious. The trend that had us all in a frenzy over lockdown is thanks to the original Arne Jacobsen’s 'The Egg' chair. The iconic designer chairs formed the centrepiece of a unique auction in Ireland recently, I wonder who got their hands on them?
They were part of a collection of original mid-century designer chairs that came to auction alongside significant pieces of Irish art, courtesy of Dublin-based deVeres. Jacobsen designed The Egg in 1958 as part of a commission to design every element of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark's first skyscraper. This pair had an estimate of €2,000-€3,000 each.

I love this clever idea from the Jando team. They are all about understanding the beauty and importance that memories impart onto places and draw us closer together. They say sounds are like that too.
"The thump of a baby's heartbeat, the infectious laughter of a best friend, the whisper of words you’ve been longing to hear." Maybe like, 'Sit down there, mam, we've the dinner made, here's a mojito.' No? Too much?
Anyway, these custom-made Soundwaves use QR code technology so that you’re always just a click away from hearing (and seeing) whatever message is embedded.
Available as a gift pack from Kilkenny stores or order direct from Jando.ie where you can customise your prints colour scheme, caption and size.
Each print is mounted in a locally-made frame, using wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. They are also open to design suggestions. Prices start at €120 and large framed prints are €250; jandodesign.com/soundwaves.
A new launch this month for gorgeous Cork brand, GROUND Wellbeing, their Balancing CBD Balm with Ashwagandha and Ylang Ylang. Founder Peigin Crowley tells us they have a workshop ‘Understanding the Journey into Menopause’ on November 7 at 7pm led by Catherine O'Keeffe (AKA @wellnesswarrior) to celebrate the launch of their long-awaited CBD Balm. It's specially formulated for peri-menopause and menopause.
Peigin says: "Developing a GROUND CBD Balm to soothe hormone fluctuations has been both a personal goal as well as a business focus for GROUND. There is so much about the journey towards menopause that we do not know about and we need to learn more in order to equip ourselves and our mental health."
Tickets for the self-care event are €20 and the balm is €40 on www.groundwellbeing.com, and in Brown Thomas and spas nationwide.
