Our new Chicago showroom is open and ready for business!
Thanks to an amazing collaboration with a local publication, CS Interiors, and the outstanding support of the local community, the grand opening event of our new Chicago showroom on December 6th was a huge success!

Guests brought their business cards to be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a pair of beautiful alabaster table lamps. Local interior designer, Theresa Manglinong, was the lucky winner and she will be stopping by the showroom soon to pick up her lamps.
We officially opened the doors to the new 2,800 square foot showroom earlier this month at 444 North Wells. This space is Circa Lighting‘s first in Illinois and our fifth retail location nationwide. And location was the key factor in the decision to open a showroom in Chicago. The North Wells building was chosen for its classic architecture and history which dates back to 1910. In addition, it is just one block from the Merchandise Mart and close to the Loop.
Along with an expansive collection of decorative lighting, the showroom features a number of unique details. Customers will find innovative merchandising displays and meeting spaces tailored specifically to enhance a designer’s creativity. There are many beautiful architectural features such as high-ceilings to display hanging fixtures and wood floors.
High ceilings and vignettes help you visualize our unparalleled assortment of hanging fixtures and designer collections.
Sliding walls allow us to show double the amount of wall product we had before – more for you to choose from!
Seating for eight allows you to spread out to review design plans, access presentations on the digital media, meet with clients, review catalogs or try out different lighting looks.
Guests can relax, find inspiration by flipping through our collection of design books and magazines, shop the entire collection online and even upload photos of your project to reference while shopping.
The Atlanta showroom, which was redesigned and relocated earlier this year, was the inspiration for the Chicago showroom in terms of size and scale. The Charleston and Savannah retail showrooms were also redesigned earlier this fall–next will be the Houston location.
We are very excited about this new opportunity to serve the Chicago market and want to thank everyone who came to the event. We appreciate your support and look forward to a prosperous and happy new year in our new space.
The Chicago showroom is open Monday – Saturday from 10-6.
