2026 Best of the City Winner
We're honored to share that EL Design has been recognized as Best Lighting in Modern Luxury Chicago's prestigious Best of the City 2026 issue.
Best of the city
Featured in the magazine's July/August edition, Best of the City: Your Inside Guide to the Ultimate Luxury Hit List celebrates the people, places, and businesses shaping luxury living across Chicago. Curated by the editorial team and written by Editor-in-Chief J.P. Anderson, the annual feature highlights the very best the city has to offer across design, hospitality, fashion, dining, wellness, and more.
To be recognized alongside some of Chicago's most respected names in design—including Gil Melott Studio, Roche Bobois, Morgante Wilson, Studio Sven, and Studio41—is an incredible honor and one we're deeply grateful to receive.
Since opening our showroom, our goal has been simple: create a destination where exceptional lighting, thoughtful design, and genuine expertise come together to inspire homeowners, designers, architects, and builders alike. This recognition reflects the passion of our team, the trust of our clients, and the incredible brand partners who allow us to bring remarkable spaces to life.
To everyone who has visited our showroom, collaborated with us on a project, or supported EL Design along the way—thank you. We're proud to be part of Chicago's design community and look forward to continuing to help create beautiful spaces for years to come.
