Design Lab
Goose Island, Chicago
2026

We added loads of color to this science lab’s beautiful new Goose Island office. Designed with the scale of the room in mind, this mural is filled with vibrant shapes & playful illustrative elements reflecting the client’s work & research. I always love the way old weathered brick pair with our crispy lines. We swapped our lifts for ladders to better access the different points of the wall, painted pipes to blend and touched up every groove + grout line with tiny brushes to solidify colors. We also painted a mural across a wall of pegboard in the lab - a first for us and surprisingly super smooth using rollers, which will soon be filled up with tools.
