window dressing in chicago



INDO centers its window installations around found objects in attempt to rejuvenate the character of the old and worn. We began dressing windows in 2007 as a way to free ourselves from the creative constraints of our desk-jobs.
In addition to custom-built installations and window displays, we also specialize in interior architecture, graphic and web design — together, we can design our future.

If you are interested in working with us, send a message to info @ theindoprojects.com and we will build a custom estimate for your needs.

The Arctic | Post27, 1819 W Grand, Chicago, IL This window was designed to provide a chilling, Arctic and encapsulating scene.  Did you know the Arctic is staked to be ice free within the next ten years?  That is way faster than we had thought just a year ago.  This problem is super big, so how does it relate to you?  Every purchase you make is a vote with your dollar.  You can support local business or global business, you can buy plastic or glass, you can bring your to-go coffee cup or waste a disposable coffee cup a day.  All of these things matter, and we need to be conscious consumers, every day, especially during the holiday season. Post27 in concept shares the same fundamentals of smart consumerism. Everything for sale at Post27 has been refreshed, reclaimed and reintroduced to our modern world from a past life. Post27 focuses on vintage & environmentally friendly items, as well as supporting local artists (like us!)  By supporting these types of wares, they are advocating conscious consumerism and give us a wonderful choice on where to put our dollars. This window reminds us that even while we spread our holiday cheers this season; around the world, glaciers are melting, the global temperature is rising, and sea levels are rising with them. Angela and Barkley did not want a window display that screamed christmas or consumption. They wanted to capture what really is at stake right now.   The chilling truth is that the beautiful ice of the Arctic is melting away, the free/thaw process of the ice has been happening as long as the human race has existed, and this window is a subtle reminder of the changes happening. If you would like to support local artists and check out the display in real life, scoot over to Post27 this Friday (the 11th) for a special holiday sale called InHabit featuring all sorts of local talent. Vendors include:Kiyomi Kimble DesignSarah Bortt DesignReuseful Objects Glashjarta Glass Art School Girl Kiku Handmade Limbrr The Post Family Glean Design Haji Couture Moreau’s Toy Shop “Coterie” is a cadre of individuals united under a common purpose. The artists selected for this event will be debuting many new items specifically created for this collaboration with Post 27. *All proceeds from the sales of this event go directly to the artists and designers – support local talent! A special shout-out goes to the marvelous and extremely talented Ina Weise who helped with the construction of this window. She is a textile designer from Germany and will be joining the INDO team while Crystal is in Sweden. Check out her work here. Special thanks to Dr. Graphix for donating paper that was no longer useful to them, which made this window possible. All of the materials we used were reclaimed and given a new life with the exception of glue, fishing line and eye hooks. Variations of color to the paper is the natural charm of reusing materials. (Detail photos by Ina, outside-in by my Iphone. Super fancy professional photos to come so check back!)
