Handcrafted Plein Air Paintbox.
The Urban Goat is a thoughtfully crafted, lightweight, and highly functional plein air paintbox is for artists who value portability, ease of use, and high-quality materials. Handcrafted in California using premium woods like cherry, maple, and mahogany, the Urban Goat combines aesthetics with practicality. Our innovative tri-fold design integrates a palette, panel holder, and brush trays into one low-profile unit, making it quicker and easier to set up than traditional paintboxes. The box features a secure, spring-loaded panel holder, adjustable friction hinges, and elastic band organizers for brushes. Its versatility extends to tripod, tabletop, and laptop use, making it ideal for both outdoor and indoor work.
Whether you're painting en plein air or in the studio, the Urban Goat is a perfect companion for artists who need a reliable, compact solution to transport their painting supplies. Designed by artists and for artists, the Urban Goat Paintbox brings ease an elegance to your creative process, letting you focus on what matters most — your art.
We’re a family business based in the Bay Area, California. With a team of three full-time workers, we take great pride in crafting our paintboxes by hand. Every piece of wood is carefully selected, ensuring that each Urban Goat Paintbox is unique. Each small batch of paintboxes takes approximately two weeks to make, with attention to every detail.
We offer customizable features like wood type, bead color, latch options, and even burn-etched personal logos, so your box can be as individual as your art. Made from premium materials and finished with care, our boxes are designed to be both beautiful and functional for artists on the go. Thank you for supporting our small business—we’re thrilled to be part of your creative process!
