"Urbs In Hoto" is the Chicago city motto. It means "City in a Garden," and anyone who's spent any time in our hometown knows why. The land is full of parks and trees and nature in every available corner.
This afternoon, at the direction of a client, we took the motto literally, and made the city flag out of fauna. It's freshly made by our expert artisans (with a special shout-out to Joe, for the #flawless inlay), out of oak with red and blue fluorite.
We're all crushing on it, and Gustav already has a plan to make a version of it with lighter, locally foraged maple.
In case you (like some of us transplants) didn't know, the four stars of the Chicago flag represent Fort Dearborn (first built on the banks of the river in what's now the Loop); the Great Chicago Fire (certainly a transformative moment); and the World's Columbian Express, and the Century of Progress Exposition rounding up the count.
