Kimball Office Furniture
325 N Wells St # 100
Chicago, IL 60610
Taken by Splotchy 04/15/2008

UPDATE:

I recently figured out that some other signage in the same vicinity, which I had been unable to find an address for, actually belonged to Kimball Office as well.

The "National" refers to National Office Furniture, which is a line carried by Kimball Office Furniture.

Boston's Remi Thornton recently visited Chicago and happened across some negative space signage he liked well enough to photograph. I covered Encyclopaedia Britannica in a post earlier this month, but Remi's version is incredibly nifty and a must-see (please click on the image to see it full-scale -- the thumbnail doesn't do it justice).

It might be a little difficult to tell from the photograph, but "Britannica" is an instance of negative space signage.

My camera doesn't have the best of zoom lenses, but I believe the top of the United Airlines building is an example of negative space signage.

The normally bright Clark Street in the Wrigleyville neighborhood was dark when I took this picture. A movie was shooting nearby, and I'm guessing they had requested that all the streetlights be turned off.

I'm not sure what they were filming -- perhaps it was Public Enemies. It appeared the scene was taking place with some El tracks as a backdrop. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a parking space so I could walk over and take a look.
