Genuinely Original
Amanda Pratt opened Amo & Pax in 2024, on the site of the original Avoca HQ in Kilmacanogue, which was designed by Andrei Wejchert. Amanda has created a different sort of store, evoking the sense of exploring at a market or brocante, with her finds from all over the world – furniture, accessories and fashion – beautifully styled in an inspirational way. Amanda is now sourcing more furniture and homewares, including French-style armoires, interesting lamps and eye-catching antiques. The store (open Wed-Sun, 10.30am-5.30pm) is complemented by a lively events programme which can be found at www.amoandpax.com. @amo_and_pax
