The Coop is growing and we just redid the website. Checkout our new website and if you are in our fair city come check out our space!

We're thrilled to announce that on March 30th, 9AM at The Coop we're going to be chatting as a group for the Chicago chapter of CreativeMornings about what we do as a family. If you haven't been it's a monthly morning gathering for creative types. Each event includes a 20 minute lecture, followed by a 20 minute group discussion.

The gathering begins at 8:30am and we start chatting at 9:00am. It's free of charge and it sells out typically in a couple minutes. So check out the site and prepare to signup March 26th at 11AM.

See you then!

If you are in town this Friday. Come to The Coop's Coworking Social!

This Friday, December 16, 2011 from 6:30 until 11pm or so.... We’re kicking off our fun, old-fashioned family holidays with a celebration to giving, coworking, eating and kissing under the mistletoe at The Coop!

Desktime, The Coop, Uber and Refresh Chicago honor our holiday festivities inviting you to our first-ever Coworking Social & Toy Drive.

Also, we’ll collect toys in the Uber sleigh; each guest bringing a toy will receive $10 worth of Uber credits to use whenever, wherever, with whoever. All toys will be donated through WGN’s Morning News Drive-Thru Toy Drive, benefiting Jennifer Hudson’s Julian D. King Gift Foundation. Hope to see you there!

After a long long time designing and building. One Design relaunched our website last week. Take a look!

Friends! We have a pretty exciting week and we'd love to make you part of it. On Wednesday (tomorrow) we're going to be speaking at the new Apple Store in Lincoln Park. We're going to be talking about what we do away from our computers that really inspires our work. It's going to be from 7PM to 8PM. Swing by and say "Hi!" 

Of course, most excitingly, this Friday we will be featuring our friends Public School at The Family Room. This Austin-based collective focused on design, illustration and photography have put together a show entitled "Homework". Homework is an opportunity to show work created individually, after-hours, and with no client direction. Spanning a variety of mediums and covering subjects including cowboys, hot dogs, old motels, 30s stuff, and trade gothic, Homework features much of the self-initiated work produced by the studio this year. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 9th, 2011. 

This event is sponsored by the rad cats at Uncommon. We will be selling limited run, Public-School-designed iPhone 4 cases!
