Home Inspiration With Julie Carlson
Based on the Windsor chair, which originated in England in the early 1700s, the captain's chair, a low-back version of the Windsor, started appearing in New York and New England in the 1950s. Lately we've been spotting it in stylish interiors; here's a roundup of spaces we're admiring, captain's chairs included.

Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
Call it net gains: Mesh and bamboo fish traps—and weavings inspired by them—make sculptural, softly glowing pendant lights. And you can create your own.
Above: A vintage fishing basket repurposed as a dramatic light in the Kamakura, Japan, home of antiques dealer Hitoshi Uchida. Replicate the look with a mesh fishing basket from Etsy and a Rejuvenation Burnside Light or use parts from the Color Cord Company. Photograph via The Selby.
Above: Barcelona design duo Manolito & Manolita weave their Colimbo Lights from mesh fishing traps and cotton. Learn more in our post Go Fish Lighting, and inquire directly with M&M about pricing.
Above: A souvenir from Culburra House, a beachside rental in New South Wales, Australia, the Fish Trap Light Shade is for sale in two sizes: $135 AUD ($104.67 USD) for the small, and $700 AUD ($542.73 USD) for the large, shown. (For lights similar in feel, see Nelson Sepulveda's designs at Home Stories in Brooklyn.)
Above: From a recent Bodie and Fou collection, the Long Bamboo Pendant Light was inspired by Thai fish traps; we hope they reintroduce it.
Above: The made-to-order Fisherman Lampshade, $1,500, by artist Tracy Wiklinson of TW Workshop can be any length. See more of her work in our post Rustic Handwoven Lamps from a Brit in LA.
More like this? We're also big fans of Outsized Basket-Weave Pendant Lights and all sorts of Nautical Decor, including Rooms with Oars and DIY Rope Banisters.

Architecture & Interiors With Christine Chang Hanway
Built on a coconut plantation outside of Mumbai, India, on the Arabian Sea, Studio Mumbai's Palmyra House is a place of refuge, not only from the city but also from people (houseguests possibly included). The 3,000-square-foot setup is split into two wooden louvered structures, each constructed using local traditional methods and wood. One building contains the living room, study, and master bedroom; the other houses the kitchen, dining room, and guest bedrooms. And should the occupants be feeling convivial, there's a long, thin pool, perfect for swims together while sharing the expansive views out to the sea.
Photography by Helene Binet via ArchDaily, unless otherwise noted.
Above: The house is nestled in a grove of palm trees. Its extensive louvers were handcrafted from the outer part of the Palmyra, a local palm species.
Above: Situated between the structures, the long, thin pool divides the two houses yet also works as the connection that joins together the overall design. Photograph via The Contemporist.
Above: The living room looks across to the dining room through open folding louvered doors. Both houses are built on stone plinths made from locally quarried black basalt. Photograph via The Contemporist.
Above: Interior surfaces are finished with teak and India patent stone, a refined pigmented plaster. (For other ideas, see Remodeling 101: Limewash Paint and DIY Project: Limewashed Walls for Modern Times.) Photograph via The Contemporist.
Above: Both houses have interior balconies that overlook the double-height volume of the public spaces.
Above: The pigmented plaster wall is finished with wood trim. (Go to Required Reading for more on the topic of natural finishes.)
Above: Sunlight from a window on the landing illuminates the stairwell.
Above: Sleeping with the sounds and breezes from the ocean through the louvers is akin to having one of our all-time favorite setups, a sleeping porch.

Above: The bathing area offers the choice of views or privacy.
Above: The louvers have a transparency that integrates to its natural setting.
Above: The flashing on the exterior is constructed from hand-worked copper.
Above: Lit at night, the louvered construction has a skeletal quality.
