New favourite shop alert! The brilliant stylist that is Angela Scanlon and I have been frequenting the loveliness of the The Pepperpot cafe in the Powerscourt Centre of late…. and right beside Pepperpot is Article!  (The Pepperpot = best scrambled eggs and service ever.)

Owner John Adams is no stranger to stylish living – formerly General Manager of Habitat Ireland, and having managed London based design store David Mellor, John has brought together a beautifully edited range of contemporary tableware and decorative accessories. 

 “Over the years on sourcing trips or travelling,  I came across many beautiful, quirky yet functional products that captured my imagination. I have always wanted to be able to bring together a collection of these pieces in my own shop in Dublin. Though the economic outlook is still difficult I really believe the time is right for small independent retailers to get into the market. It’s about reinvigorating the retail landscape - small shops bring personality and diversity to a city, offering flexible and local employment and encouraging tourism as well as taking the risk to stock something a bit different.  I want Article to be a place that people can come to for a gift or to add to their home, or simply to call in, browse and be inspired.” 

 The bright, stylish shop is stocked with a small but perfectly focused selection of tablewares, accessories and items that you won’t want to leave the store without…My personal favourite products are the coloured glasses, pictured above. I’ve just started my collection!

 Article is open every day 10.30am – 6pm, until 7pm on Thursday and 1 – 5pm Sunday. Visit our website at www.articledublin.com or join them on facebook.

Congratulations and best of luck with the store!
