Soba Noodle Workshop
Skyline hosted a series of three intimate evenings of Soba Noodle Making, including fresh noodle tastings with Sonoko Sakai – founder of Common Grains – in its new Chicago Merchandise Mart Showroom, Suite 1060. This was the first of many special events meant to inspire the design community and reinforce Skyline’s story of connecting with like-minded individuals.
Common Grains is an LA based project dedicated to providing people in the world with a deeper understanding and appreciation for Japanese food and culture with aims to share the traditions and pleasures of eating grains and vegetables within a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
Sonoko demonstrated how to make soba noodles from the simple ingredients of buckwheat flour and water. She then coached as our guests handcrafted and cooked their own noodles.
To reap the benefits of their labor, participants savored Sonoko’s preparation of three soba dishes: Soba with Dipping Sauce, Soba Salad with Eggplant and Peaches, and Duck Soba Soup.
The evening celebrated simplicity, community, and the handmade cooking process.

Best of NeoCon Gold Awards
With the opening of its first permanent Chicago Showroom in the Merchandise Mart, Skyline Design is proud to announce its acceptance of two Best of NeoCon 2013 Gold Awards from Contract Magazine.
Skyline Design launched its Digital Glass Portfolio at NeoCon 2013, winning best product in both the Wall Treatments and Surfacing Materials/Finishes categories.
The Skyline Digital Glass Portfolio offers a selection of images for digital printing on glass by eight commissioned artists, photographers, and designers from across the United States. The initial launch represents the first phase of an ever-growing collection, with the work of new artists to be added.
Skyline Design is proud to build on its history of creating collaborative partnerships with celebrated artists, architects, designers and photographers, to realize their creative visions with architectural glass. For the Digital Glass Portfolio, Doug Fogelson, Bryan Nash Gill, Bill Sosin, and Herman Yu have drawn inspiration from the natural world, creating patterns and textures based in sources as varied as raindrops, tree rings, and skeletal winter branches. Other artists, including Jim Krantz, Anne Lindberg, Sonnenzimmer, and Thirst, redefine manmade elements—fabrics, letters, symbols—into immersive environments.
