About
Rejected pitches and abandoned Chicago design ideas finally leave the studio in this free exhibition.
Design Graveyard turns failure into the attraction, gathering architectural, graphic, interior and exhibition concepts that Chicago designers never realized. The short two-week run, free admission and 5:30 PM start make it an unusually easy and conversation-worthy Monday stop.
What to expect
Browse unrealized design work presented with brief explanations of its intended purpose and why it stalled. Most finished projects appear on uniform 17-by-17-inch canvases, creating a compact survey of ideas that normally remain inside studios.
