Our Pop Up at Powerscourt

We were absolutely thrilled to be invited to take part in The Design Collective Pop Up at Powerscourt Townhouse Centre in the heart of the city over the festive season. The organisers Jane and Ruth Flanagan from Style Ignite Studio hand-picked 14 Irish female-owned brands to take part alongside them in the four-week Collective, and I was so happy to showcase our homewares among such gorgeous brands in such an iconic building — particularly at Christmas, when the festive atmosphere was magical.

We took over Chupi's old space on the top floor at Powerscourt and Emma Rose Floristry came in to give it a festive makeover with some gorgeous floral installations.

We had a lovely launch party sponsored by Poachers Drinks and Dingle Gin where we got to meet and mingle with press and customers over some bubbly and cupcakes!

It was a fantastic experience and one of my favourite days was setting up our areas ahead of the launch — each of us hammering something, up on ladders, putting together furniture and helping each other out wherever we could. Lots of laughs and fun in between the chaos!

The other fabulous brands included:

Emerald and Wax  FAO Millinery  Ciara O'Neill Art  Oir Tonics  Mimi & Bowe  Laura Chambers Cashmere  Capulet & Montague  Mumujam  Nunaia  Tidings  Somas  August Night  Amurelle
