We’re excited to announce that last night Thirst had five pieces accepted into the Chicago Design Archives. The winning pieces are: Wright’s Utopia Catalog, AS+GG’s website, MCA’s Dry Ice Invitation, Thirst’s Top Five Love Songs, and the 09-10 LOEB Fellows poster.

A little bit about STA’s Chicago Design archives from the official press release.

Archive09, is an annual competition presented by the STA to recognize the best in Chicago design. This year’s competition drew hundreds of entries. Of that total, 44 were selected for the Chicago Design Archive (CDA), an online compendium of the most significant design work in Chicago’s history.

It feels great when others recognize work you’re mighty proud of. Thank you STA for a great night.

Here is a sample of our winning pieces.

This falls under the category, we just had to share. We posted previously about winning a Sappi’s Ideas that Matter grant… well, in addition to winning a generous grant to make the one drop project we also received these incredible cookies! What else will they think of? Thank you Sappi, and Elini’s.
