Chairish Announces Virtual Spring Preview

Furniture World News Desk on 3/17/2020

Chairish (www.chairish.com) recently announced that in light of the cancellation of many important design events and the postponement of this Spring’s High Point Market, they've come up with two ways they can support the design community.

Chairish will support the design community in two ways:

1. Featuring the “Dealers of High Point”: Chairish will host a feature on The Dealers of High Point, featuring the exceptional inventory of the beloved dealer community who regularly present at High Point’s Antique and Design Center and 214 Modern Vintage. This feature will give designers who rely on these venues for sourcing a way to access these important one-of-a-kind items via Chairish.

1. Introducing the Chairish Virtual Spring Preview:  To address brands and designers need to connect  soon, they are presenting a first ever “virtual preview,” that will enable leading brands to virtually present their lines to the Chairish community of 25,000 interior design professionals through a web-based editorial series. Participating brands will also offer their collections for sale on Chairish.

Their hope is that by opening up their online platform to the industry, they can mitigate the immediate impact of event cancellations and allow brands and dealers to virtually connect with the trade, our industry’s most valuable buyers.

"As important design events continue to be canceled or postponed, Chairish is seeking to support the design community by providing an alternative and virtual way for brands and dealers to reach trade professionals.  Chairish will leverage our powerful online platform and large audience to enable brands and dealers to digitally present their newest inventory to designers and design lovers, in lieu of in-person venues at this time.  Let’s keep this industry rolling!”

— Anna Brockway, Chairish Co-Founder and President
