The New September-October Issue is Here!

A tantalising taster of what’s inside the spectacular September-October issue of Image Interiors & Living…

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury” – Coco Chanel

This issue we’re lusting after all things luxe. But not opulent extravagance – we’re talking practical, pared-back luxury. The type of luxe that has beauty and?brains.

Ireland is no longer?the country of cranes and crazy property prices.?The??new luxury? (which our writer Kate Phelan discusses this issue) isn’t about bling and big spending; it’s about investing in thoughtful, considered, curated products that tell a story and truly make you happy.

We’re becoming known, internationally, as a country of innovation. This can be seen so clearly in the world of interiors?in?our September-October?issue – from the ultra-creative plywood extension by?Sligo architects Noji to young entrepreneur Danielle Ryan, who is building an exciting brand, Roads, which straddles publishing, film and fragrances.

And then there’s?Anike Tyrrell, a woman on a mission to revive glass-making in Waterford with the beautifully chic, contemporary and widely coveted J. Hill’s Standard crystal.
