Nordic lifestyle brand ARKET will open a flagship store in Dublin on 4 September

Located at 60 Dawson Street in the heart of the city, the new space (004047-940) marks the brand’s first physical destination in Ireland.

With a total area of 810 square metres arranged over two floors, the store features ARKET’s signature monochrome palette of soft greys and natural materials, including solid oak interiors and lush greenery.

‘We’re very excited to be opening our first ARKET location in Ireland with this beautiful flagship store in the centre of Dublin. We look forward to connecting with our local customers and inviting them to explore our vision for a more beautiful everyday life’, says ARKET Managing Director Pernilla Wohlfahrt.

The new store will offer the brand’s full assortment of ready-to-wear and accessories for women and men, childrenswear, body care and interior design. Customers will also find the ARKET CAFÉ in store, designed to offer a slower pace and a breathing space in the midst of the shopping district. The café serves a seasonal vegetarian menu, Nordic-inspired pastries and speciality coffee, with a focus on food creativity and natural flavours.

ARKET’s design philosophy is rooted in the Nordic modernist movement of the 20^th century. Coined in 1919 by Swedish art historian Gregor Paulsson, the slogan ‘More beautiful everyday goods’ captured a democratic approach that aimed to bridge the worlds of arts, crafts and functional form, making good design both affordable and accessible. In the Nordic region, this aspiration gave rise to a new aesthetic characterised by clean lines, a neutral colour palette and solid materials drawn from nature and the northern climate. Above all, it prioritised functionality and longevity as the basis of good design.

Inspired by this heritage of simplicity and nature – and the aesthetics of slow living – ARKET’s ambition is to present a modern-day market offering a diverse range of garments, objects and food, all carefully made and artfully curated for a more beautiful everyday life.
