Visit to Gorgeous Gifts and Interiors in Kilkenny
July 23rd, 2012

I got a chance to visit ‘Gorgeous‘ on 14 John Street Lower in Kilkenny the other week. They have moved to this city centre location from their previous home in Thomastown. It’s a welcome move in my opinion as more people will now get to enjoy the fabulous products they’ve handpicked for this very contemporary design boutique. Gorgeous offers desirable and unusual gifts and interior accessories and also provides a full interior design service.

The More The Merrier Candlesticks by Muuto are a great idea. The self assembly candlesticks can be constructed in infinite ways. The black and white ones shown here are just two examples. The matt rubber texture feels great too.

These Tapered Candles by Ester and Erik are displayed in store in their original dipping frame which creates a beautiful visual impact.

The Four Flower Vase by Muuto is another delightful find in Gorgeous. The inner sphere, which can be rotated, has four different sized openings. The result; four different sized vases in one!

Red Ming, Faux Semblant Collection by Ibride. The vase shape breaks down to reveal intricately decorated bowls that can be used as entertaining or display pieces. Gorgeous is their only Irish stockist so it’s well worth a visit to the shop.

I fell in love with the Diva Ostrich Console Table, designed by fabulous French design house Ibride. You can buy an ostrich wall sticker separately to complete the design, very cool!

Visit to Room 68 in Boston
April 25th, 2012

On a recent trip to Boston I called into Room 68 in Jamaica Plain. This lovely new concept store has a mix of furniture, functional objects and contemporary art from well known and emerging artists and designers. It’s well worth a visit if you’re ever on the other side of the pond.

This fabulous table lamp by Nervous System was the first thing that caught my eye in Room 68. The Hyphae Lamp is based on how veins form in leaves. Each lamp is a completely one-of-a-kind design 3D-printed in nylon plastic. They also make some amazing jewellery available in store- I want it all!

Look how slick this stool is!! It would appear I’m obsessed with this white nylon material but it’s more the smooth functioning of this product that grabbed my attention. The only thing is that it’s around the $2,000 mark!

These beautiful acrylic structures combined with rubber cord create floating containers of space. Strung is designed by Debra Folz.

I wanted to take photos of pretty much everything in the shop so here’s a group shot of some of the other products!

The leatheresque floor lamp by Oliveto Design, the Hexy Wall Modular Storage Unit by Mika Gilmore, Lilac Wood Vase by Seth Rolland and the Plopp Stools by Zieta.

I’ll come back to actually shop when I’m rich!
