For the past six years, two has hosted an event called Chairity, created to bring the design community together to up-cycle furniture (typically chairs) to help raise money for local non-profits.
This year, we’re changing up the format a bit. We aren't taking the "chair" out of "Chairity," but we are making it more open-ended. Knowing that it will be a challenge to be in person, we're taking a new approach. Keeping the tradition of bringing together the design community, we decided to officially expand it to include our manufacturer partners. In past years, design teams have often collaborated with local makers to create their chairs. For Chairity 2020, we'd like to celebrate this collaboration and support our maker community by pairing 30 design teams with 30 manufacturers to develop an auction piece together.
Though the format is different, the mission remains the same: coming together to give back to our local community through creativity and design thinking.
