Furniture Objects By Architects Pop-Up #FOBA
In conjunction with the Chicago Architecture Biennial and AIA Chicago, Architecture Is Fun transformed an empty storefront into a pop-up of Functional Objects By Architects (FOBA). Inspired by museum-minded concepts of open storage, the architecture took form as industrial shelving with a straightforward layout, branded wall graphics and a curated collection; all of which turned a generic gallery into a design destination.
