If you've read the little "about me" part of the blog, you know I'm a foreigner :-) and I've made Dublin my home. I believe it is important to take care of and support your home, wherever it may be, which is why I buy Irish products when possible - and why I've come up with this post.
Designist is a shop where you get to experience Irish design - and humour - first hand. Whether you're looking for an interesting piece for your home or an unusual present for your friend - this is the place to go. I've bought a few things in there myself (like the adorable milk carton cover, see pics) and would recommend it to everybody; you should definitely check out the Northside/Sothside/Countryside T-shirts ;-)
So there you go, one of Dublin's gems, right in the centre (68 South Great Georges St), filled with inspired and inspiring gifts. From the shop's website:
"We imagined filling the market for gift & homeware with products developed by an identifiable designer. In our store you won’t find generic mass produced objects. You will pick up an item, find out about its designer and really engage with the product. Every single thing has a story, no product is average. Living with our products may not solve the world’s problems but will make your day to day life more interesting."
Happy shopping! :-)
Domo.
