Chairish is a curated online marketplace for high-end vintage home furnishings and art.[1][2]

History

The company was founded by former fashion marketing executive Anna Brockway and travel industry executives Gregg Brockway (co-founder at Hotwire and TripIt), Andrew Denmark (co-founder at TripIt) and Eric Grosse (co-founder at Hotwire) in March 2013.[3]

According to the founders, sustainability is a top priority among most consumers, and millennials believe the resale market plays a big role in sustainability.[4] Chairish accepts furniture and decor with no minimum listing price. Listing items is free, and the seller keeps only 55% percent of the final sale.[5][6]

In January 2019, it announced the acquisition of New York-based Dering Hall, an "online discovery platform" for contemporary furniture brands and interior designers.[7] In 2020, the company launched the Chairish Podcast hosted by journalist Michael Boodro.[8][9]

In 2019, in addition to acquiring Pamono, a major European marketplace,[5] the firm released its first Home Furnishings Resale Report, a study of the resale of home furnishings industry.[2] In January 2023, the company launched The Chairish Art Gallery, a brick-and-mortar retail experience within the New York luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman.[10]

On August 4, 2025, it was announced that the company had been acquired by Auction Technology Group for US$85 million.[11][12]

Funding

The company raised a $3.2 million round of funding in July, 2013,[13] $4 million in August 2014[14] and $6.5 million in June 2015, primarily from O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV) and Azure Capital Partners. In March 2017, the company announced a new round of $8.5 million led by Altos Ventures with support from return investors OATV and Azure Capital Partners.[15] In 2020, Chairish announced a round of Series B funding of $33 million led by Austin, Texas–based firm Tritium Partners.[16]

Technology

On March 9, 2017, the company launched an in-app augmented reality feature, designed to allow buyers to visualize items in the context of their own home.[17] Subsequently, the Chairish app was named a 2017 Webby Honoree in the Mobile Site & Apps Category for Shopping.[18]

Awards

In 2018, the company ranked No. 388 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies. and No. 38 in Entrepreneur's Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America.[19][20] The company was named to Newsweek’s Best Online Shops list in 2020 and 2022.[21] In 2020, co-founder Anna Brockway was named a Top Woman in Retail by the Women in Retail Leadership Circle.[22] In 2023, she was a recipient of a John Jay Award from Columbia College.[23]
