The Chicago Artists Coalition | 217 N. Carpenter

Featuring work by M26 Studio, Ben Salthouse, Bridget Soldan, Strand Design, Studio Murmur, & weetu, "Light & Reflection" introduces new lighting and mirror concepts that explore a range of technologies and conceptual ideas.

Largely based in the Chicago design community, the group includes individuals and small studios showcasing new designs as part of the emerging "Design Week," which includes events such as the 8th Annual Guerrilla Truck Show and NeoCon.

Guerrillas are Coming! Guerrillas are Coming!

Another year, another Guerrilla Truck Show and another weetu truck design.

Check out the show and, of course, come visit us on June 12th 5:30p - 9:30p @ 1000 Block of Fulton Market. And, now, you can easily take the Green or Pink lines with newly added Morgan Street stop. Rumor has it that the $38 million train stop was built just for this 8th Annual Guerrilla Truck Show. (it's just a rumor.)

If it that's not enough, this year's show promises to be bigger, better, badder than ever. With a juried show and 50 trucks representing local, independent designers and artists, the streets of Fulton will be closed off as GTS officially becomes a street fest.

But wait there's more...

weetu will be in a second gallery show in Fulton Market that very night. WHAT?!? MORE WEETU??!!? SAME NIGHT?? Yes, it's so very true, but shhhhh keep that under wraps as we'll be sharing more details of our 2nd show in the next few days.

DRIVEN BY DESIGN

The avant gardener strikes again in the current issue of Michigan Avenue Magazine. The magazine approached weetu at this year's Guerrilla Truck show where they interviewed Jorge about our latest weetree wall creation. Aside from the walls looking stunning, we were also amazed at Jorge's modeling skills and matching green shoes.

New concepts are in the works, so this won't be the last blurb about weetree walls. Check 'em out!

Guerrilla ReCap

Finally a truck show with no rain! Thank you sky! The 7th Annual Truck Show had an amazing turn out and lots of talented designers and artists. It was such a blast to be a part of it all that we were able to forget all the blood, sweat and tears that went into getting there. The atmosphere carried an energetic vibe and lots of positivity. Weetu's weeinvent truck was proud to host a steady stream of traffic. Thanks to everybody who came out and the support from afar for those who couldn't make it.

weetu even designed their own froks for the event, all with hidden zippers and pockets. Carly's frok is also equipped with safety yellow and a big hoodie in preparation for rain.

HOW

Weetu will unveil three new products in the “WEEINVENT” truck.
Leading the pack is the newest line of “Weetree WallsTM”, illuminated, self-watering indoor/outdoor wall gardens perfect for restaurant installations. Planted with herbs and edibles during the warmer months, and maintains visual beauty during the colder months.

Next up is "Plant-Lamp" glowing diamond, the first-prototype in a collection of flat-pack snap-together, dual-function home accessories. Despite packing a big illuminated punch, this table-top dynamo canʼt ever be mistaken for itʼs outdoor cousin, “Big Daddy Diamond” steel planter, who sits at almost 3-feet in length with a sparkling car paint finish.

Bringing up the rear in more ways than one are “Fuk'n Frok'n Positional Bedsheets” available in “Dog-E” and “On-A-Mission” styles. A collaborative experiment with photography and graphic design, these digitally printed, eco-friendly bedsheets are a hinted surprise when the cover comes off.

WHY
Founded on a model of inventiveness, weetu brings together seasoned creative leaders from multiple disciplines and backgrounds to generate new ideas and products. Core to its design is the concept of “collaborative play” fueling weetuʼs overall environment and creative processes. It is through this hands-on approach where weetuʼs design teams are encouraged to explore ideas and inspirations free of limitations.
