  • 2/2 Architectural Artifacts Inc
    4325 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago     8 months ago

    Part of looking at the design of tomorrow is rooted in studying the design of the past, and there's really no better place to get an eyeful of the past than Architectural Artifacts. This is the only place I know of where one can find a 19th century mantelpiece (or a room of them!), furniture from the 60s, costume jewelry, old letterpress forms, an aquarium full of billiard balls, apothecary jars, and a table full of building sign type within a hundred feet of each other. The store is essentially four floors full of amazing design finds- some very pricey, some you can walk away with the same day.

  • 2/2 A. Okay Official
    3270 N Clark Street, Chicago     8 months ago

    I heard about this store a month or so ago and it became one of my favorites almost instantly (and one of my bank account's least favorites). Specializing in designer vinyl figures, street-inspired artwork and clothing, artist monographs, and in-store customized kicks, A.Okay Official is a very welcome addition to the Chicago scene. The store is still in its first year and is currently expanding to include a gallery/event space. Keep an eye on this one.

  • 1/1 Prairie Avenue Bookshop
    418 S Wabash Ave, Chicago     8 months ago

    I'm guessing that most architects in and around Chicago know and love Prairie Avenue, and once inside, it's easy to see why. The have a good selection of periodicals and art books, an enormous architecture and interior design collection, and a floor dedicated to rare and out of print publications. Its library atmosphere is welcoming; it's nice to go to a book store without being hassled, annoyed by blaring pop music, or being forced to sit on the floor because the one chair they've got is already taken. Anyone interested in picking up great design books, both new and old, needs to visit Prairie Avenue.
