Work added to Chicago Design Archive
August 25, 2026
Five projects awarded at this year’s STA 100 join the Chicago Design Archive.
On the heels of the 2026 STA 100 Awards announcement, news followed that all five awarded projects were also added to the Chicago Design Archive.
“Since 2003, the Chicago Design Archive has been the premiere and permanent online record featuring Chicago-related experiential design, graphic design, and product design created from the 1920s to the present. It is a collection of historically important design as well as a living, growing record of the vibrant Chicago design scene.
The mission of the CDA is to preserve significant works of the past, to augment the collection with vital new works, and to showcase the best of Chicago design through publication, exhibition, and other programming.”
Alongside five previously archived Studio Malt projects, the following were added to the Chicago Design Archive this year:
Clam Digger Caesar Bar, Identity
Immigrants Make America Great!, Poster
Palmer Brewing Company, Identity
Roaring Table Pizza, Packaging
Meg & the Wheelers ‘Honky Tonk Wisdom’ LP, Packaging
