Summer Highlights: Darien & Lake Forest Design Socials

June 16, 2025

This summer was all about connecting with our design community and celebrating the artistry behind every piece we create. Allem Studio was thrilled to participate in two wonderful events organized by Brooks Morrison, the visionary founder behind Design Social Event - who brings together designers, makers and industry enthusiasts to celebrate creativity and craftsmanship - The Darien Design Social and The Lake Forest Design Social.

At the Darien Design Social, we had the pleasure of sharing our latest textile collections with local designers, showcasing the stories and craftsmanship printed onto each pattern. Guests explored our block printed fabrics, hand woven Bhujodi pillows and layered table linens, all while connecting over a shared passion for artisanal design.

The Lake Forest Design Social offered another wonderful opportunity to engage with Chicago’s design community, hosted at the stunning Armour House on the Lake Forest Academy campus. The historic venue, with its exquisite architecture and intricate interior details, provided the perfect backdrop to showcase our artisanal textiles. Guests were able to experience our designs in a beautifully curated lifestyle setting, making the event both inspiring and memorable.

Both events reminded us why we love what we do. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, explored our collections, and made these events so memorable. We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering!
