We’ve long been obsessed with online interiors and jewellery store April and the Bear (A&TB) so imagine our delight when this cool and eclectic brand announced its Summer pop-up store. A&TB has transformed the Fumbally Exchange at 5 Dame Lane, Dublin 2 from now until July 11th.
The brand, known for selling a carefully curated collection of alternative and stylish homewares and exclusive art-prints online, has created a beautiful and inspiring retail space to showcase usual A&TB names such as Madam Stoltz, Housedoctor, Areaware and Ottmar Hoerl, as well as introducing new lines created specifically for the pop-up from the stunning Danish homewares brand Hubsch, new exclusive vases from Jenny Walsh and the quirky-cool art of Susana Parada.
