About MATCHDADDY

From the beginning of time, humans have been fascinated by fire. Be it the glow of a candle, a warm fireplace or someone’s pants on fire, the draw of a flickering flame is mesmerizing. Since the great fire of 1871, Chicago has been synonymous with fire and the mystery of whodunnit is yet to be solved. The “Peg Leg” Sullivan theory or Mrs. O’Leary’s cow? The argument continues nearly 150 years later. In 2017 another fire ignited in Chicago offering quality letter press paper product featuring a range of design from traditional images to snarky comments. The brainchild of designer Mitchell Pennell, MATCHDADDY proves to be a winning combination. His sardonic humor and love for beautiful things apply to an affordable product that everyone needs. Though the ongoing debate of cow vs. wooden leg still stokes heated conversation, now there is no question of who starts the fire in Chicago! Who’s your Daddy?
