Malt donates pieces to Chicago Design Archive Auction

Written By Jack Muldowney

Malt was recently asked to donate archival pieces to the Chicago Design Archive Auction. The CDA has been a great resource to us over the years–archiving notable design work since 2003–and it is humbling to have a few of our pieces up for auction alongside some legendary Chicago designers.

This includes work donated by Philip Burton, Marcia Lausen, Jack Weiss, the Design Museum of Chicago, Carlos Segura, Nick Adam, Judith Mayer, Cheri McIntyre, MAS Context, Jonathan Nesci, Vicki Matranga, and many more.

The Auction will be held at the newly-opened National Public Housing Museum, located in the last surviving building of the Jane Addams Homes at ABLA Homes.
