Chicago Fabrications takes a fresh approach to reclaimed wood, glass and steel, designing and building striking commercial interiors.

An emerging small business, it gives clients the unique opportunity of using a fully equipped workshop and the expertise of its employees to learn the essential skills of carpentry, metalworking, and workshop safety in order to make whatever you want, exactly the way they want it.

"At Chicago Fabrications, we take ideas and make them reality," says owner operator Tyler Mitryk. "From cutting boards to dinner tables to aquariums, we provide the essentials to give you a product not only made to your unique specifications, but at a cheaper price than most production line alternatives." www.chicagofabrications.com
