Home Inspiration With Christine Chang Hanway
Gearóid Muldowney and Jo Anne Butler are the couple behind Superfolk, a design studio specializing in "everyday home goods for people who prefer the wild outdoors." After meeting at art school in Dublin—he has a degree in craft design and she has a masters in architecture—the two headed into the wild themselves. They live and work in Westport, on Ireland's windswept Atlantic coast, where they forage for inspiration in their own backyard.
Known for their camp stools, wooden trivets, and earthy pottery, the two have branched out into printmaking. As an ode to their rambles, they've recently created a series of hand-cut lino prints depicting "wild and seasonal foods." First up: three lyrical seaweeds. The new designs are exclusive to Makers & Brothers in Dublin.
Above: "Our products reflect the character and behavior of the raw materials from which they are made," say the couple. Their prints, including Seaweed Spaghetti, are Japanese ink on 130-gram vellum. They measure 64 by 48 centimeters (24 by 18 inches), and are €78 ($85) each.
Superfolk is currently refining the prototype for the wood bar frame and plan to offer it in the future. To source similar designs, see 6 Simple Ways to Hang Art.
Above: The Carrageen Print depicts a red algae seaweed that grows in rocky parts of the Atlantic. "Superfolk products are a tribute to Ireland's heritage of vernacular object making, playfully referencing a way of life rooted in the land, its animals and its weather," writes Makers & Brothers. "They design and make objects imbued with a poetic optimism."
Above: The Dillisk Print captures another red seaweed that's native to the north coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific.
See more designs from Makers & Brothers, and for more on Superfolk, read their interview with Makers & Brothers founder Jonathan Legge here.

Architecture & Interiors With Cheryl Locke
Madrid architect Camino Alonso compares her 290-square-foot prefab house to a Monopoly game piece. Designed for two—and portable, no less—it's so cleverly laid out that there's plenty of storage. Really.
If you have a spot to put it—and live within driving distance of the Madrid factory that makes it—you can buy your own tiny house. Prices start at €21,900 (about $24,000).
The secret to making the space feel airy? High ceilings. With its steep roof line, the house departs deliberately from the cargo-container look. After we spotted the design on Architizer, we had to take a look around.
Photography via Ábaton Architects.
Above: Alonso, a partner at Ábaton Architects, based her design on the silhouette of the house piece in Monopoly: "It doesn't belong to any certain culture, but anybody would understand it as a house," she told Architizer.
Above: The prefab gets delivered via flatbed truck and takes only a day to assemble. The design received Architizer's A+ Award for Living Small and Single-Family House.
Above: The facade has gray cement boards over a timber frame and works well in both natural and urban settings. In contrast, interior panels are whitewashed Spanish fir, and the frames of the large window and door are black steel.
Above: Thanks to the pitched roof, the ceiling at its height is 11.5 feet. "We studied the proportions to make sure that the sensation when you're sitting in the sitting room is a sensation of being in a house," says Alonso.
Above: A side wall is detailed with a center window that swings outward to open.
Above: The house features stealth storage, including built-in shelves and cabinets, and is available in a variety of floor plans, all with bath, kitchen, and bedroom.
Above: The mini (but lofty) kitchen.
Above: Alonso's prefab is ready for delivery six to eight weeks after an order is placed. For more information, including options for solar panels and water tanks, go to Ábaton.

Home Inspiration With Janet Hall
World's most cheerful chair? Here's a roundup of our rattan-inspired favorite swings (with a few fabric options for hammock lovers).
Take note that natural rattan is best when it's kept in a dry location—perfect for hanging on a covered porch or indoors from a ceiling beam (bring that summer feeling inside). Want to hang a chair from a branch in the garden? Synthetic rattan to the rescue. Several of our selections are made from weather-resistant fibers.
If you prefer something more horizontal, see 10 Relaxation-Inducing Indoor Hammocks.
