At the Corner of Clark and Illinois: Finishes

The XOCO Blog
April 27, 2009

Finishes

Tabletops, tile, countertops, floors, fixtures - the interactive elements for our guests, what they see and touch in the restaurant during the dining experience. For XOCO we are focused on obtaining our finishes from within a 500 mile radius of Chicago. As part of this, the items we choose meet certain criteria; recycled content, rapidly renewable material, environmentally friendly production practices. All the while we look for a stylish product that helps create thewarm and modern interior enivornment we are going for.
