Founded in 2013, the ChiLab began as a collaboration between friends from different disciplines who met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Through a common interest in elevating everyday objects and experiences, and diversity of artistic and technical backgrounds, the ChiLab thinktank has grown to become an award winning and acclaimed specialty project studio and a proud member of the Chicago design and arts communities. Consistent with our origin as well as practice, we welcome collaboration, partnerships, and commissions on a per job basis. Please let us know if we can make something for you.
