At Home: Wil Marquez’s Living Room

Wil Marquez has a consulting company, W/Purpose, that tackles urban-design issues (and creates beautiful things, like Tomlinson Tap’s bar) by trading Indy’s cinderblock cityscape for fetching, affordable housing developments and bright, artful bus stops. Marquez practices the inventive style he preaches at his cool pad in Devington.

Art
Marquez found this Roy Lichtenstein vinyl graphic at a gift shop in Argentina.

Wall Print
He collaborated with UNLV professor Shai Yeshayahu and Southern Illinois University student Ronny Metzger to create the 3-D blocks for this textural graphic of his company’s logo. Marquez and Yeshayahu will be teaching the printing technique at Marquez’s new co-working space, Design Bank, on the northeast side.

Chandelier
“I’m not afraid to give IKEA a little love,” he says.

3-D Printer
From SeeMeCNC in Goshen. Marquez bought it for around $1,200.

Table
Marquez fashioned it from a reclaimed beam of red pine.

Collectibles
He found these at the World Baseball Classic in New York. The fun little characters dance and talk.

Chair
Marquez loves midcentury-modern furniture, like this Eames-style seat from The Crazy Daisy Antique Mall in Louisville.

Rug
Ball State architecture professor Ana de Brea crocheted the colorful textile.

Pet
He recently adopted Boe, a 13-year-old Lab mix.

Couch
Purchased at the annual design show 20th Century Cincinnati.
