Chicago, United States 555 International Full time

About Us: 

Making cool sht since 1988, 555 international is an award-winning global interior design, fabrication, and development firm specialized in commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces.

Unlike your typical design and manufacturing firm, our multidisciplinary team of experts handles every aspect of the process from concept development to fabrication to installation, all under one very large roof.


The firm boasts 300,000 square feet of studio, warehousing, finishing, and manufacturing space, including 20,000 square feet dedicated to offices and showroom. Our team of Designers, Project Managers, Engineers, Craftsmen, and collaborators work together cross-functionally, ensuring that all designs and processes are being reviewed and monitored by a closely interconnected group while allowing the firm to provide a wide range of custom services and expertise.


At 555, we look at the "big picture". We ask the questions that are usually never asked. We listen to our clients’ dreams, add our experience and insight, and turn those dreams into reality. We strive to engage the guest, enhance their experience, and service their wants and needs. These environments are what become some of our proudest work.


We are driven by the inner need to create something from nothing, to build with our own hands, and support our local community. We believe in providing an unparalleled level of service to our clients.
