Chairish

The platform serves a diverse clientele, including design enthusiasts, affluent homeowners, collectors, and a significant base of interior design professionals who utilize a dedicated trade program. Chairish's business model is primarily commission-based, taking a percentage of each sale made through its marketplace. Commission rates vary depending on the seller's membership plan, which ranges from a default "Consignor" plan to paid tiers like "Professional," "Plus," and "Elite," offering lower commission rates for higher volume sellers. The company does not hold its own inventory, operating an asset-light model that connects over 12,000 sellers—comprising small businesses, artists, and dealers—directly with millions of buyers.

A key differentiator for Chairish is its meticulous curation process, where every item submitted is screened by curators to ensure quality and style, setting it apart from less-selective online marketplaces. The company has also focused heavily on simplifying the complex logistics of shipping large items, building a network of third-party shippers to manage pickup, packing, and delivery, a cost covered by the buyer. To enhance the shopping experience, Chairish launched an augmented reality (AR) feature allowing buyers to visualize items in their own homes. Significant milestones include the acquisition of Dering Hall in 2019 and the European marketplace Pamono in 2021, which substantially expanded its global footprint and inventory. The company has secured a total of $57.3 million in funding over five rounds, with a notable $33 million Series B in 2020 led by Tritium Partners.
