What is Chicago Factory Today?
For years, Chicago Factory was known as a premier manufacturing boutique, crafting thousands of custom laser-cut signs and toppers for couples across the country. Today, we have evolved. We are focused on making your memories beautiful in a new way—by becoming the ultimate Digital Design Archive for the modern couple.
Led by Emily Carter, a former studio owner with 12 years of industrial design experience, we decode the mechanics of decor. Whether you are planning a loft wedding in the city or looking for the perfect DIY stationery hack, we bridge the gap between professional manufacturing and personal styling.
