Your designers, printers, and fellow paper lovers
Kindred Letterpress is a print and design studio run by husband and wife team Chris and Lauren Mateja. Their artistic journey began with making stationery for their own wedding, and blossomed into a discovery of antique printing presses. Together they restored their two vintage presses, an Old Style Gordon from the 1890s and a Chandler and Price Model N from the 1950s, meeting many kindred spirits along the way. Using a combination of modern and classic technologies with fresh, whimsical designs, their work showcases a dedication to the preservation of letterpress printing and antique printing presses. All Kindred stationery is fully designed, pressed, and packaged in their home studio in Chicago, Illinois.
