Make a toast and take a seat: DWR Annual Champagne Chair Competition

by Cynthia Closkey, January 25, 2007

Furniture retailer Design Within Reach is holding its annual Champagne Chair Competition. The idea: Create an original design for a (miniature) chair using only the cork, wrapper, and cork wire from two bottles of champagne. This year, the champagne is Veuve-Clicquot, and the contest is underway.

In addition to esteemed designer judges, DWR is soliciting opinions from the general public. To see the designs under consideration a place a vote, visit the Champagne Chair Competition page of the DWR website.

    How do I enter the contest? I have made many of these chairs and only recently found out that I’m not the only one and, that there are actual competitions for the best. Lately, I’ve been brazing joints with silver solder. Is this allowed? Thank you for your attention. Paul.

      Paul, they seem to run the contest every summer. You might try signing up for the Design Within Reach email list to be updated when the next one starts. Check out the DWR website: http://www.dwr.com
