A comprehensive look at Dublin's September‑November events featuring designer retrospectives, furniture brand celebrations, a prestigious auction, and intimate culinary experiences from renowned chefs across Ireland.
During the coming autumn, Ireland's design and culinary scenes will buzz with a range of exhibitions, auctions, and intimate dining events that promise to showcase both historic and contemporary creativity.
From September 17 to 20, Dublin's Atrium will host a vibrant display of the designer Joanne's work. The show, named after one of her signature embroidered tees, invites visitors to explore a decade of artistic evolution, featuring earlier collections such as "You Do You," "I Beg Your Pardon," and "Fall Hard for Love.
" These pieces draw inspiration from figures like Constance Markievicz, Lucia Joyce, Maude Gonne, as well as artists Mainie Jellet and Alice Maher. A new line, "You Were Always Enough," lines the finale, echoing Joanne's first Autumn-Winter 2016 collection with its bold chain details and utilitarian fabrics. The event offers beholders a unique opportunity to witness the journey of a celebrated creator whose work has become a go‑to resource for architects, designers and private collectors alike.
Concurrently, Minima, the only Irish retailer of renowned international furniture brands, opens a temporary exhibition at its Hanover Quay showroom. From September 18 to 20, the space celebrates thirty years of partnership with brands such as B&B Italia, Maxalto, Cassina, Flexform, and Poltrona Frau. Collaborating with Turin‑based photographer Barbara Corsico, photographer portraits of the staff pose beside iconic pieces, turning the showroom into a living museum.
This tribute to design heritage runs alongside an upcoming auction by DeVere's, scheduled for November 3 at The RHA Gallery. The sale will feature mid‑century modern classics from Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Niels Møller, Charles & Ray Eames, and contemporary highlights from Roche Bobois, Knoll, and B+B Italia. The catalogue, set for release in mid‑October, will also showcase works by Patrick Scott, Sir Terry Frost, Louis le Brocquy, Stephen McKenna, and John Shinnors.
Beyond the gallery walls, culinary enthusiasts will not be disappointed. Martin Lovell, executive chef of the urban retreat's Panorama restaurant, will host the Hillside Gathering on October 18, a four‑hand dinner that brings together Robbie Krawczyk of Restaurant Chestnut. With limited seating of forty, guests will dine under the twinkling lights of the city while savoring a menu crafted by two celebrated chefs.
Around the same time, Co Kildare's Barberstown Castle invites couples for a Wedding Open Day on September 27, offering tours of its grand medieval halls and scenic gardens. Meanwhile, Co Laois's Ballyfin will release an exclusive dining experience on November 8, co‑curated by executive head chef Richard Picard‑Edwards and Mickael Viljanen of Chapter One. The one‑off menu will be served in the opulent Gold Drawing Room and State Dining Room, concluding with a nightcap in the cellar bar.
These events underscore Ireland's growing reputation as a cultural hub where design, food, and history intersect
