Pleased to Meet You

Founded in 2015 by self-taught artist Taylor Mahlke, Pen+Pillar is known for designs that transform everyday items into works of art.

Inspired by walks in nature, historical pattern making, and a touch of nostalgia, her hand-painted creations reflect a whimsical and eclectic style filled with intricate details.

Each design tells a story, blending timeless influences with a modern sense of charm.

While her designs have been featured on the shelves of Target, Anthropologie, Barnes&Noble, and Magnolia, she believes her art is most at home when it's part of your everyday life.

What Drives Us

We don't think bringing beauty to your world means just pretty design- we believe it should do no harm to planet or people. Our tech accessories and woven blankets are made to order, ensuring we aren't overproducing items that will fill landfills, and they are printed in the US, reducing the carbon footprint during shipment. Every tech accessory purchased plants one tree, and all our paper products are printed with paper using sustainable forestry practices.

Keeping our supply chain small ensures we work with manufacturers that treat their workers fair and have more sustainable practices.
