Strolling into town one day in late 2025, I saw a crew putting the finishing touches to a new home and interiors store that stopped me in my tracks. The brand names were ones I recognised from trade shows on the continent but hadn’t seen much of in Ireland, and the overall curation of the store was stunning.

We do have some wonderful stores dotted around the country, but not nearly enough — in fact, I feel we are chronically underserved as a nation. So I was thrilled to see one pop up in my vicinity, and even happier to attend its launch event before Christmas. The aesthetic itself is best described as old meets new.
