Chicago tastemakers Lance Lawson and Jim Wetzel marked the debut of their second SPACE 519 location in Wilmette, expanding the vision of their beloved downtown store. More than 175 fashionably dressed guests gathered for the festive evening, savoring signature bites from SPACE 519’s restaurant The Lunchroom, including favorites like Miss Lucie’s Pimento and the “It’s Greek to Me Flatbread” topped with whipped feta, kalamata tapenade, roasted pistachios, and local honey. A live string quartet set the tone, filling the newly unveiled 6,000-square-foot space with an elegant soundtrack as guests mingled around a curated mix of fashion, beauty, and home collections.
