By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Near West Side · June 9, 2026

Near West Side neighbors, the design world is literally on your doorstep today — and it is spectacular. Fulton Market Design Days 2026 is in full swing, and Tuesday, June 9th is shaping up to be the event's most buzzworthy day yet. With 80+ global brands throwing open their showroom doors across the neighborhood's iconic cobblestoned streets, the energy right now is electric.

Here's what's happening today specifically: MillerKnoll is hosting its full lineup across 10 showrooms — featuring Herman Miller, Knoll, Geiger, Design Within Reach, HAY, Muuto, and more — open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and best explored as a full-day immersion. Meanwhile, IKEA for Business has taken over a pop-up showroom next to The Emily Hotel at 309 N. Morgan, offering guided tours of their playful, commerce-forward commercial design concepts. And if you're craving something truly one-of-a-kind, don't miss the "Less Than a Truckload" installation — a design competition where 10 shipping containers have been reimagined into jaw-dropping creative installations scattered through the district.

Today also marks the HON Flagship's "Meet Mosaic" Happy Hour from 3–5 p.m. at 320 N. Sangamon (11th floor), with drinks and a Spain trip-for-two giveaway. Whether you're a design professional or just a curious neighbor, there's never been a better afternoon to wander your neighborhood and soak it all in.
