About
Rejected pitches and unrealized concepts reveal the Chicago design work that never left the studio.
Design Graveyard turns abandoned concepts, scrapped proposals and rejected pitches into a revealing portrait of Chicago's design process. Because the exhibition lasts only two weeks and costs nothing, Wednesday offers a low-risk chance to see the ideas normally hidden behind finished work.
