Fab

edit

Fab is the marketplace for discovering everyday design.

Fab was founded by serial entrepreneur Jason Goldberg in February 2011 and launched on June 9, 2011. Fab’s cofounders are Bradford Shellhammer, Nishith Shah and Deepa Shah. Fab’s headquarters are in New York, NY.

Fab’s website and mobile apps offer exclusive access to daily curated design sales featuring the world’s leading designers and manufacturers. Fab is a members-only site, but it is free to join.

In February 2012, Fab expanded into Europe with the acquisition of Casacanda, the launch of Fab.de.

The company’s mission is to make its customers, partners, and employees smile.
