DecoSonic Cigar Box Guitars, founded by SAIC alumnus Jeremiah Lee, is a Chicago-based company that specializes in handcrafted, finely tuned cigar box guitars. Using reclaimed materials and decorative patterns inspired by Art Deco, Futurism, and Streamline Moderne, Lee creates unique three-string guitars that combine history with utility, embodying the origins of the guitar as a means for destitute populations to make music and celebrate culture. With a focus on DIY aesthetics and a philosophy that resonates with Chicago's vibrant contemporary art scene, DecoSonic guitars not only showcase quality craftsmanship but also embrace the city's support network for artists and the communities that appreciate handmade creations. Exhibited in various cities, Jeremiah Lee's work continues to explore cultural landscapes and contribute to the reinvigoration of the handmade movement in Chicago.Generated from the website
