New location comes as part of ambitious plan for development
A decade after setting up the business, Irish entrepreneur Chupi Sweetman has opened a flagship jewellery story on Clarendon Street, just off Grafton Street in Dublin.
The new store is in the 250-year-old Powerscourt building adjacent to so-called Diamond Alley, as Johnson’s Court is known. The store is in the former French Connection unit, a 4,500 sq ft hybrid retail and studio space encompassing Chupi’s fine jewellery, engagement and wedding collections. Po McNamee Design Studio was responsible for the interior architecture and redesign along with Monica Gumbrielle and Ms Sweetman. The fit out and installation was carried out by Movement. Metalwork expert Barry Lyons gilded the staircase steps leading to the first floor.
Inside, details include an antique cabinet with 24 brass handled drawers sourced from dealer Joy Thorpe in Castlecomer to store valuable pieces, and a wall installation displaying artefacts and the original framed hawthorn tree that inspired Ms Sweetman’s own wedding band and is a key feature of her designs.
