The Ambrogio side table is designed by Favaretto & Partners for Slide. It’s a fun piece (38.5cm high) and comes in a choice of 13 colours. This one’s sweet fuchsia. It’s made of polythene and will be in the world for a very long time, hence the name ‘ambrogio’, which means immortal (€199 from ie.shopdecor.com).

Walk in the park

The Dublin Retreat collection is the latest fragrance from Rathbornes (founded in Dublin in 1488). Its woody scent — musk, black ebony, and amber — is inspired by the Phoenix Park (€50 for a two-wick candle from rathbornes1488.com).
