This week, we received a donation from international design and consulting firm NELSON. NELCO Architecture, Inc., the firm’s Philadelphia branch, has offices on Walnut Street in Old City.

It’s always refreshing to get a call from a responsible design firm trying to find a home for what they no longer need! Since they are reorganizing their space, they decided our creative clientele could use some of their interesting items. In addition to a fantastic collection of architecture and interior design material samples, they donated four flatfiles in great condition.

In our shop, we use flatfiles like these to hold theatre and film drawings, paper, foamcore, and matboard. They are a great way to keep paper and flat goods safe, organized, and accessible. Perfect for anyone who draws, drafts, or prints — and for lots of other folks, too!

We know what you’re thinking and yes, the four flatfiles are for sale! Each stackable five-drawer unit is just under 36″x48″x16″ — we can’t wait to see what you do with them! If you use one and send us a picture, we’ll share it with our friends at NELCO Architecture so they can see how their partnership with us positively impacted the creative community. Thanks for the donation, NELSON!
