Seven Wood
Located a little outside the city centre in the trendy residential area of Ranelagh, a visit to Seven Wood is more than worth the short Luas journey. Originally started as a pop-up by Niamh Banks, former head of buying for the iconic Avoca‘s homewares department, Seven Wood has blossomed into a permanent fixture of the Dublin design scene. Working from her beautifully appointed store on the village’s main street, Banks handles a covetable collection of restored vintage furniture, beautiful ceramics and organic apothecary ranges such as L:A Bruket and Compagnie de Provence. She has also collaborated with award-winning Irish furniture maker Cillian Ó Súilleabháin on the ‘Parquet Table’ – a project designed around reclaimed parquet flooring that originated from Queens University Belfast.
