Flopping Fish has been creating decorative hardware including switch plates, house numbers, signs, and door bells since 1995. We have become well known in the home décor industry for our unique designs and unusual metal finishes, such as our exclusive tarnished copper and galvanized steel. We began by designing a line of etched copper switch plates that would transform this once bland necessity into an elegant architectural detail. But switch plates were just the beginning of the numerous products we have designed over the years to elevate the everyday to the extraordinary.

After receiving a phenomenal response to our line of artisan wall plates, we took on the challenge of creating an attractive No Soliciting sign. Our customers were so enthusiastic about the result that we began to receive requests for a decorative and polite sign which could be used to ask house guests to remove their shoes. The success of our first Please Remove Your Shoes sign led to a full line of artistic and tastefully-designed signs which remind visitors to leave their shoes at the door. Next we tackled address numbers and doorbells, and gave our versions individual flair by rendering classic letterforms and motifs with stylish lines and our signature surface treatments.

We believe there are so many opportunities throughout a person's home to insert a spark of personality, to turn the ho-hum things that you have to have into something special. From the switch plates that you see and touch everyday and the house numbers which guide guests to your home, to the No Soliciting sign that keeps those pesky salespeople at bay, we strive to make products that you can display proudly, that you can view as a true investment in the appearance of your home and not an unpleasant distraction.

It’s poetry for your home. Whispers of art that add character in unexpected places.
Made by hand and with heart in the USA.
