The store design:
Dublin based DUA Architects designed the concept behind The Triggerfish Cookshop. DUA, which stands for ‘Design, Urbanism, Architecture’ are gaining a strong reputation for interior design and were recently selected for Wallpaper's 2017 Architecture Directory as one of the 'World's Best Young Architectural Talents'. For the store, they have brought together their trademark combination of attractive materials and attention to detail, using perspectives of timber and steel to draw the customer into the space, focusing the eye on the products on display, with a subtle nod to the triggerfish. Their previous award winning work includes Bear Market Coffee, also in Blackrock.
About the owner:
The Triggerfish Cookshop is an independent Irish-owned business headed up by Dubliner - Bob Toal, a passionate at-home cook who has spent years crisscrossing the globe, picking up on food cultures, cooking styles and eating trends. After 12 years working as a lobbyist in London, he has now returned home to pursue this venture of bringing the quality products he’s discovered along the way to the Irish market. His adventures in the culinary hot spots of Japan, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Lebanon and Peru have inspired him. Closer to home, he is a huge fan of Mediterranean cooking, especially Greek and Italian. Bob loves to talk food, grow his own and cook for friends and family, all with a pinch of salt and is now delighted to be following his dream of working with the best cookware brands in the world.
