Thank you again for your commitment to this process and the City of Chicago.

Welcome (back) to the neighborhood.

MNML may have just turned 10, but our roots have been running deep in the West Loop for 22 years. To celebrate our love for Chicago and the neighborhood we've made our home, we’re excited to have worked with muralist and artist  to bring her work back to the Fulton Market District.

We believe art inspires design inspires community, and to commemorate her return, MNML invites you to our new mural to get inspired and talk to Lauren and our team about art, design, Chicago, and what drives you.

Swing by on Friday, August 25 at 939 West Lake Street from 4 to 6 PM. Look for the big Asta mural. You can’t miss it.
