What is Chairity?

Chairity is an annual design challenge and fundraiser hosted by two, where creativity meets community impact. Each year, teams of volunteers transform forgotten furniture into one-of-a-kind art pieces that are auctioned off to raise money for Bay Area non-profits.

The concept is simple: take a used or discarded item, typically a chair, and reimagine it. Participants are encouraged to deconstruct, reupholster, paint, sculpt, or completely reinvent their piece. The only real rule? Give it new life.

This year, we're excited to introduce a new twist: three design categories that teams can choose from on a first-come basis. While still rooted in reuse and reinvention, each category opens the door for new kinds of expression:

💡 Lighting

🖼️ Décor

🪑 Furniture

Whether you’re crafting a sculptural lamp, a bold statement piece, or something totally unexpected, your creation will help drive change. 100% of auction proceeds go to Bay Area non-profits. This year they are: Industrial Design Outreach, San Francisco Latino Task Force, and Project Color Corps.

What is the theme?

Step into a world where creativity takes center stage... literally! At this year's Chairity, Masterpiece in the Making, each team’s unique creations become the evening’s masterpieces, showcased for all to admire and celebrate. This is a night where imagination, collaboration, and expression come alive, surrounded by an atmosphere of elegance and inspiration. Dress to impress in cocktail attire and prepare for a night where every piece tells a story and every moment sparks conversation.
