Announcing Chairish: First Peer-to-Peer Consignment Marketplace for Exceptional Pre-Owned Home Furnishings

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chairish is the world’s first online consignment marketplace for design-obsessed people to buy and sell their exceptional pre-owned home furnishings. Buyers get access to a curated selection of high quality, designer, and often unique home décor of all types and styles, from “like new” to those with great bones that need a little love. All Chairish listings are pre-owned pieces straight from their design loving owner, so buyers enjoy huge savings on their purchases.

Now, owners don’t have to merely give away, let sit, or pay to store great home furnishings that just don’t happen to fit anymore. Chairish makes it easy, safe, and hassle-free to sell to a broad online audience; convert that furniture into cash; and make more money, more easily, than through other online or traditional channels.

Anna Brockway, Chief Curator and co-founder at Chairish adds, “I believe having a stylish home doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. The inspiration for Chairish came when after a recent move, I found myself with really terrific things that needed a new home. I knew there were people like me out there who would really appreciate them, but there was no easy way to reach them. With Chairish we’re creating a place where individuals who appreciate style can both sell and buy fabulous, gently used decor. Our mission is to make the world more beautiful, one room at a time and save people money in the process!”

Eric Grosse, President and co-founder states, “Home design is a major investment for most households, but unfortunately, new furniture currently depreciates faster than new cars or any other significant consumer purchase. Chairish brings liquidity, convenience, and style to a multi-billion dollar market and makes the experience of selling and buying quality furniture and design what it should be: accessible, easy and fun.”

Chairish was founded by a team of senior executives, founding entrepreneurs, and design obsessed individuals from Hotwire, TripIt, Yahoo!, Expedia, eBay, and Levi Strauss & Company. This team includes: Gregg and Anna Brockway, Andy Denmark, Eric Grosse, and Nancy Ramamurthi.
