Merchandise Mart Madness this Memorial Day

We have been busy over at the Mart again - and this time, the most awesome outdoor furniture was on the agenda.

Lucky for us, we found lots of amazing design showrooms ready to get rid of their last season/ discontinued/floor sample inventory. Which means - Lucky for you - we are bringing it straight over to Divine Consign, slashing a few zeros off of those price tags, and throwing a massive Memorial Day Weekend Tent Event!

Over 300 high-end outdoor furniture items worth half-a-million dollars will be on sale at our tent event, with markdowns of 50-90% off Mart prices. The event will take place in the parking lot outside of our showroom (809 S. Oak Park Ave, Oak Park) from this Friday, May 24 through Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Hours are F 11-7, Sat 11-6, Sun 12-5, M 11-6.

We offer a reasonably priced delivery service and accept all credit cards. Oh, and there will be a raffle. What did you say you were doing this weekend, again? 

Set a reminder right now for Friday at 10:59 a.m.! You'll want to get first dibs on these amaaaazing outdoor furnishings before...say...your next-door neighbor does (and you're stuck drooling on the other side of the fence).

See you in the tent!

A "Mini-Merchandise Mart" Comes to Oak Park

WE'VE GOT BIG SUPER EXCITING NEWS!

Over the past few weeks, we've been busy meeting with some of the best designers all around Chicagoland and browsing through their super awesome showrooms of high-end home furnishings. 

With so much amazing furniture right at our fingertips, we got to thinking...

What if we could make this typically "designer-only" merchandise available to the public and OUR CUSTOMERS for a limited time event?

Alas, a one-of-a-kind, unprecedented event was born:

Remember the "Treasure Hunt" days at the Merchandise Mart? They're back - and the treasure has moved to Oak Park.  Divine Consign, working with the finest showrooms and studios at the mart and throughout Chicagoland, has compiled one-half million dollars of high-end designer showroom inventory to be sold at 50-90% off "Mart" prices. From showrooms such as C.A.I. Designs, Martin-Wood, Kenneth Ludwig, Anacara, Treasure Garden, Lily Jack, Dana Creath, Park Place Interiors and others, this warehouse event will make these designer items available to the public for 10 days only - February 8-17, 2013.

Our Very Own Chrissy is Doing a Display at NeoCon 2012!

Our lovely and talented Chrissy was selected to do a display at this year’s NeoCon for Harrington College of Design. We are so proud of her! Check out what she has to say about this year’s event, taking place June 11-13 at Merchandise Mart:

(Above: Chrissy's design! Make sure to check out more pics of her display in progress at the bottom of the page)

DC: For those who don't know, could you tell us a little about what NeoCon is?

C: NeoCon is North America's largest commercial design exposition. Every year, over 50,000 architects and design professionals attend this event with the opportunity to discover thousands of innovative products and resources—from hundreds of showrooms and exhibitors—for all types of commercial and residential interiors. It is pretty much the single most important event of the year for all industry professionals.

DC: Have you attended NeoCon in the past? Have you ever done a display?

C: I have attended NeoCon for the past 4 years. As a student, it was very beneficial for me to network while also discovering the industry’s hottest new ideas and trends. This is the first year I have designed an exhibit for NeoCon.

DC: How exciting! What did you get your degree in?

C: I graduated just this past April 2012 from Harrington College of Design with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design.

DC: Congratulations! And what an honor it is to get to do this display! Can you tell us a little about what it is?

C: The exhibit I designed will help advertise Harrington College of Design, one of the most well known and respected Interior Design schools in Chicago. Harrington attends the event every year, and it not only helps bring in more interested students, but it also serves as a great way to network for their existing students.

DC: How did you get chosen to participate this year?

C: I participated in a competition through Harrington against 7 other design students, where we had to create a concept and exhibit space. This year, Harrington wanted their exhibit to inform people about the 4 master degrees they now offer. With that in mind, I came up with the concept "Destination Design," which evokes the idea of navigating your life to go back to school, thus navigating to Harrington. After a presentation and votes, my design won, and was therefore chosen to be built for NeoCon 2012.

DC: Well you must be very excited! What are you most looking forward to during NeoCon 2012?

C: I am definitely looking forward to the opportunity to meet other industry professionals and market myself as a designer. I’m also hoping to spare some time to enjoy the Trade show myself, and discover all the new ideas and products people have come up with.

Congratulations Chrissy and have fun this week!

We know you will absolutely rock!

Check out some pics of her design!:

Chrissy’s exhibit for Harrington College of Design will be located on the 7th floor of Merchandise Mart, near the west side elevator banks.
