Fabpats

The latest issue of Atomic Ranch has begun arriving in homes, so it's time to announce the opening of my daughter's new Etsy store, which is called fabpats. (You can also visit her website.)

What are fabpats? They're fabulous prints of the original patent application renderings of your favorite mid-century designs. The prints come in black, magenta, cyan, orange or green pigmented ink on fine art quality 8 x 10 archival paper.   

The prints sell for $40, and we will be carrying them framed and matted in the store...and soon on Etsy...for $85. In addition to the ones shown below, you can also buy prints of  the classic Knoll sofa and a Jens Risom armchair. Fabpats look fantastic hung singly or in groups.

    1. I made a pair of these for my daughter and SIL for Christmas, and they loved them so much that my daughter decided to start making them herself and open an Etsy store. She sold one the first day her store opened. :)

  2. These are going to do great! Tell her to submit her shop to Fab.com, they are a great online store that features small designers and stores all over the world. This looks to be right up their alley. If you don't contact them, I'm going to send them the link!

    1. That's a great idea! I look at Fab.com every day, but I hadn't thought about her submitting her shop to them. Thanks for suggesting that.

    1. That would be a great look. We're going to hang a large group of them on the back wall of our store.

    1. I think people are really going to be happy with them. She just negotiated a paper upgrade with her printer today...some super snazzy German cotton paper. She isn't scrimping on anything.

    1. I think my daughter did a stellar job on these. I have a perfect spot for an orange one in my house. Now I just have to figure out which chair I want. I'm leaning in the direction of the Platner.
