1440 Event Design

1440 Event Design is a full-service design and production company led by husband-and-wife team Hubert Kaulen and Casey Plasch. With a combined background in hospitality, fashion and event management, Casey and Hubert launched 1440 with the goal of creating a "beginning to end" company that could bring bold visions to life while delivering a seamless experience for planners, marketing agencies and corporate clients. Over the last five years, 1440 has expanded rapidly, now operating out of a 40,000sq ft studio and showroom - building a team of designers, fabricators and production /install specialists that work under one roof to deliver the highest quality events and activations. Managing every aspect of production in-house, our capabilities include full-scale event production, scenic design, fabrication, custom furniture builds and upholstery and wide-format printing. This efficient system of creation allows us to better communicate options, define and maintain accurate deadlines and deliver within tight timelines. Our Chicago-area location also provides a key advantage; centrally located and well-connected to both coasts, we are perfectly positioned to support events across the country, delivering the same level of excellence in every market. With extensive experience in hospitality, Bert, Casey and our Team not only understand what it takes to create a stunning space but focus on creating each event to also be a guest-ready experience. Every project is approached with a client-facing perspective - ensuring the final result is as polished as it is creative. Whether collaborating on corporate summit, branded activation, charity gala or social event, we are known for being hands-on, solution driven and most importantly delivering what clients expect. At 1440, we stress our internal motto of Proven, Not Promised.
