MWC: A Middle West Collective Project


The Middlewest Collective Project is a group of Chicago locals and like-minded individuals from separate industry backgrounds (builder, baker, restauranteurs, florist, interior designers, creative directors, artists, etc) and professions who come together to collaborate on a variety of projects which benefit the community and local businesses by utilizing an adaptation of integrated project delivery. The collectives endeavors range from art installations, furniture & lighting fixtures design and fabrication, interior renovations & interior design, restaurant & hotel concepts, and pretty much anything amazing.

This table set is soon to find a home at the home, retail, and garden boutique Asrai Garden . A Middle West Collective Project will be making a its full product, services, and project launch soon!
