When something is labeled ‘handmade,’ it usually entails a ridiculous price tag because, granted, it was carefully—even painstakingly—built by the designers own hands; but Superfolk furniture wants to bring handcrafted pieces to the public for an affordable price.
With its simple yet well-designed collection, Superfolk furniture is inspired by traditional Irish furniture. Priding itself on its multiple, informal uses, these pieces are perfect for family homes.
