from the crew at
true hand,
THE MATCHBOOK is a creative transformation of an 1875 storefront & former vacant lot into a temporary, active and energetic space.
Inspired by the intersection of eclectic nostalgia and Philadelphia character, THE MATCHBOOK provides a welcome sense of familiarity and authenticity, anchored by well-designed moments and thoughtfully activated areas.
THE KINSHIP OF RABBIT RABBIT & TRUE HAND,
pairs the energetic & eclectic space activation of THE MATCHBOOK with the celebration expertise and intention of GOING STEADY to check mark the essentials for a rad event.
Be it a wedding ceremony with your closest crew, birthday bash vibes, or congratulatory rah rahs, the aim is to inspire a purpose to party.
Call it kismet, no matter the occasion, the sentiment is forever, “this must be the place.”
As a temporary activation,
available to party for a limited period of time,
GOING STEADY AT THE MATCHBOOK hopes to leave the lingering of laughter and build stakes in memories, before THE MATCHBOOK takes on its future intended shape in the community.

on-going projects, and the occasional popsicle stick joke.
