Haastyle, an art business co-run by longtime Geneva resident Nate Winter, is making waves in Chicago with a bold artistic style and a new furniture line.
Chicago Social magazine’s August issue (available at news stands and fine Chicago retailers now) includes a feature article on the company in its “Radar Now!” section. The article explains Haastyle’s signature style of digital collage artwork and announces the launch of its new Furniture Art series.

Winter, who lived in Geneva from 1993 until 2004 during which time he attended Geneva Middle School and Marmion Academy for high school, runs the Chicago-based art business with graphic artist Nick Haas.
Although he now resides in Chicago, Winter’s Geneva roots remain very important to him. “There’s an strong network of Geneva people who continue to be very supportive of the art we’re creating through Haastyle,” says Winter. “Although Geneva is miles away, the bond of growing up there is as strong as ever.”
