A second Design Ireland store has today opened at The Loop Duty Free in Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport.
The first Design Ireland shop in the airport opened at Terminal 2 in 2019.
Products from a total of 28 Irish designers of jewellery, glassware, prints, textiles, and accessories will be stocked in the store, and plans are in the works to expand this collection over time.
Both Design Ireland stores are operated by The Loop Duty Free, with the store name brand under licence by Design & Crafts Council Ireland.
Aer Rianta International is working closely with these Irish brands to curate the collection with some of the brands designing exclusive collections that will only be available at the shops in the airport.
"At ARI, we are committed to championing the best of local to create a true sense of place across all our stores," said Anthony Kenny, ARI's Chief Commercial Officer & Deputy CEO.
"The Design Ireland store in Terminal 2 has been a great success since opening its doors in 2019, so we are proud to extend the offering to Terminal 1 and to showcase the very best of contemporary hand-crafted Irish design to the thousands of passengers who travel through the airport each day," he added.
Rosemary Steen, CEO of Design & Crafts Council Ireland, said that Design Ireland showcases the diverse range of makers and high-quality products being produced in studios all over Ireland.
"Located in Dublin Airport the Design Ireland outlets offer travellers the perfect opportunity to take a beautiful piece of Ireland with them as a gift to themselves or to others," she added.
