About this event
Every designer has a drawer of work that died. Design Graveyard collects it: abandoned concepts, rejected pitches, unbuilt proposals from Chicago architects, graphic designers and exhibition makers, each on a 17-inch canvas with a note on why it never happened. Opening night of a two-week run in a LaSalle Street tower.
Why we picked it
A whole exhibition of the work that did not get made — the most honest design show in the city.
Free entry
Organiser describes it as 'a free, two-week exhibition'.
