THE HANDS BEHIND CHICAGO RESIN
Meet Ricardo.
A love for wood. A fascination with waves. Something made just for you.
Hi, I'm Ricardo Soto, the founder and maker behind Chicago Resin. In my Aurora, Illinois workshop, I combine traditional woodworking with hand-poured resin to turn everyday pieces into functional art.
With more than seven years of experience in carpentry and resin, I personally take each piece from raw wood to its final finish. I select and prepare the wood, pour the waves, then sand, finish and carefully pack your order. The grain and the movement of the resin make every piece its own.
From coat racks and key holders to serving boards and custom designs, I want my work to be beautiful, sturdy and useful in your daily life. Some of my favorite projects begin with a customer's idea. If you have something in mind, I'd love to hear it.
Thank you for supporting handmade—and for making my work part of your home.

Will my rack look exactly like the photo?
Every piece is handmade. Wood grain and the flow of the resin waves vary, so your rack will have its own character.
