Flax Art & Design is your destination for Arts & Crafts, Pens and Stationary, Albums and Journals, Boxes, Portfolios, Home Decor and Kids Stuff. As the people at Flax Art & Design say - Flax Art & Design is the place where creative people shop! For over 67 years Flax Art & Design enjoyed serving the creative community in the Bay Area through their San Francisco retail store. For the past twenty years Flax Art & Design has been reaching out to the rest of the country with their mail order catalog, and more recently their website at www.flaxart.com.

Flax Art & Design has always been a family business for over 3 generations. The Flax Art & Design San Francisco retail store soon drew wide attention for its incredible breadth of product (over 45,000 items), its courteous and knowledgeable staff, and its ability to inspire creativity through the thoughtful presentation of merchandise. Having outgrown the confines of downtown, in 1981 Flax moved to 1699 Market Street, San Francisco. The new location extra space accommodated a venture into the mail order catalog business. Then in 1985, the catalog a success, Flax Artist's Materials became FLAX art & design, a different name to reflect the broader and more diverse offerings, and moved the distribution and customer service centers ten miles south to Brisbane for more even more room.
Today, the Flax Art & design Market Street store is the destination for creative inspiration, and through their Flax Art catalog and website they strive to inspire creativity everywhere.
