Superfolk: Art Foragers - Remodelista
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. Known for their camp stools, wooden trivets, and earthy pottery, the two have branched out into printmaking. “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. Superfolk is currently refining the prototype for the wood bar frame and plan to offer it in the future. The Carrageen Print depicts a red algae seaweed that grows in rocky parts of the Atlantic. The Dillisk Print captures another red seaweed that’s native to the north coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific. : Superfolk will be launching a new set of Irish botanical prints and holding a workshop at the Makers & Brothers’ NYC pop-up shop during New York’s Design Week, May 14-19.
