Inner spaces: An interiors business bringing African craft to Dublin and beyond
Barikisu Ali Telfer, founder of Sahara, on how traditional handmade baskets from her native Ghana kickstarted her Irish interiors business
If you had dandered down Dublin city’s Wicklow Street over recent weeks you might well have been stopped in your tracks by a pop up store packed full of colour, crafts and greenery. It came courtesy of Sahara, an Irish/African interiors business based in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, which has a growing fanbase thanks to its array of artisan African baskets and carefully selected pieces from Irish makers.
