Life Histories of Irish Folk Furniture

Irish Folk Furniture which just won an award for the best short animation at the Sundance Film Festival, has been making the rounds on the design blogs this week – and like me you might have just scrolled on not having time to stop – but if there’s one video you watch on a Friday afternoon let it be this one.

It is witty and charming and transports you to a simpler world where family history and community is at the heart of it’s story – intertwined with our favourite things, furniture and craft.

The film by Tony Donoghue, depicts through interviews and stop motion animation, the life histories of antique furniture in a community in rural Ireland – as they are restored and returned to their homes. I promise it will make you smile.
