Chicago Archive Series-Cubes
This series could be considered furniture in sketch form. Each cube is unique and individually fashioned out of collected shop materials. Currently, Dilettante is working on a series of cubes made from furniture from the closed Chicago public schools. They are imagined as a sort of material history, preserving some aspect of what may be soon forgotten. Some of the cubes shown are no longer available. Contact us for an updated listing of what's currently available, or to customize your order and choose your materials.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Dilettante Studios (DS) is a small, full-service design/build studio specializing in hand-crafted furniture, cabinets, carpentry, built-ins, environments, installations and art fabrication, using primarily found, inherited, re-purposed and salvaged materials. We also work with virgin materials when necessary, but do our best to go second-hand whenever possible, as both a principle and an invited opportunity for adaptive design. We hope you will work with us for our expertise as much as our commitments to waste reduction and creativity.
