Carly Baracks the VOTE!

I woke up this morning with a hard case of obamarama. It was neither itchy or painful, but the fever did get me out of bed prior to the alarm going off (and the 3 snoozes that typically follow). That's a first! Most comparable a feeling could resemble that of Christmas morning - a sense of anticipation and excitement for what could be. Did I get the shiny pink bike with banana seat or did I get shafted with a 12 pack of white tube socks?

i've never been particularly political... but the ridiculousness of the past 8 years has certainly insisted that we all pay more attention. This is a time critically in need of a makeover. As relieved as I am to see the campaign end, I'm shy to admit that I did fall in love a little. Not with a man, and ESPECIALLY not with a woman, but a little in love with the American dream. Hope and inspiration? Obama brung it. He got my vote. Tina Fey? Thanks for making scary be funny again.

Perhaps I'm just drunk on voting, but the studio is closing early today to enjoy not only the amazing weather, but the energy of Chicago. GO VOTE! And especially GOBAMA!

WEE know BO

Couldn't we all use a little more Euro-modern? weetu thinks so.

In early 2008, weetu began working with BoConcept's new franchise store owner in Chicago, Francisco Figueroa. Figueroa's vision for this new location was to appeal to Chicago's strong architecture and design community and provide a specialized retail experience.

The store is located in the Clybourn retail corridor, easily accessed by walkers or drivers. weetu worked closely with BoConcept's brand team to ensure that the space met corporate standards, while providing a unique interpretation within the loft environment. Aside from some cool furniture and displays, BoConcept's user friendly specification stations line the main wall while espresso awaits guests in a private back-lit bar area behind the wall for more in-depth consulting.

Weetu's store design contributions infuse a modern Chicago essence with a strong brand aesthetic - creating a new rock'n furniture mecca for Clybourn Avenue.
