Our team of A&D experts partner with you to take your design from concept to reality through a collaborative engineering process. This can start with a simple sketch or a fully-engineered idea.

We can assist you in developing your specifications, detailed draw­ings and 3D ren­der­ings. We offer experience work­ing with­ tight bud­gets while offering rec­om­men­da­tions on engi­neer­ing and installation. 

We challenge the notion that custom projects are complex.

Our project management services help simplify the custom process for you, overseeing every step from quote to fabrication to installation.

Our team is made up of architects and designers who have a thorough understanding of what it takes to smoothly execute a custom project, working out all the details on your behalf. 

Complex custom projects can often be simplified to save time and reduce cost.

Our experience in developing thousands of custom pieces has provided us with the experience to successfully work within any budget.

Our team will help you design and engineer a beautiful product or installation that you can be proud of.

We can assist with the details or the big picture, we will work hand in hand with you along each step and strive to provide value to the process. 

We take local craftsmanship and combine it with commercial design and architecture industry experience, creating shop drawings and 3D renderings prior to fabrication so you can see exactly how your custom idea will come to life. 

As a custom manufacturer, we have found that prototyping complex solutions usually leads to better results.

Working with unique materials and custom design benefits from a little bit of practice. We will often work in collaboration with the design team to prototype a product solution prior to fabrication.

Prototyping unique pieces will often simplify production and ultimately lead to a higher quality solution. 

Icon Modern sources all of its sustainable wood within a 100-mile radius of Chicago, IL.

The urban wood we work with comes from trees that are taken down due to disease, insects and construction, and would otherwise be designated for landfill.

We divert this wood to our shops to craft one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture and architectural elements.

Our steel materials are sourced and fabricated locally in Chicagoland.

Common products we fabricate using steel are shelving, space dividers, reception desks, signage and wall treatments.

Metal solutions can be powder coated to almost any color to match branding and other interior design elements.

We commonly work with hot rolled steel, aluminum, brass and unique found objects like car hoods. 

We work with a wide variety of solid surfaces including laminate, veneer, glass and stone. All materials can be matched to any specification.

Common products include tables, reception desks and shelving.

Our custom branding & signage products are great for commercial environments.

Designs can be stand alone or integrated into other designs and architectural elements.

Common materials we use are urban wood, steel and sintra.

Our CNC capabilities offer endless opportunities for custom designs, unique shapes and branding elements for all types of spaces.

Common applications include uniquely shaped tables, brand signage and feature walls.

Laser cutting can bring custom intricate patterns to life, paired with unique powder coat solutions to add an extra layer of individuality to various product solutions, whether that’s for a feature wall, space divider or branding & signage.

Fabricated locally in Chicago, IL, we can bring your unique, creative vision to life.
